For the first fifteen years after Yeshua’s resurrection, the message that Yeshua was the long awaited Messiah of the Jewish people spread throughout Judea, the Galilee, and to Jewish Communities throughout the Roman world. Some accepted the message with joy; others rejected the message and even attempted to kill those who proclaimed Yeshua as the Messiah. But there were God-fearing Gentiles worshiping in the Synagogues alongside of the Jews. Paul spoke to both Jew and God-fearing Gentiles at the synagogue in Pisidia recorded in Acts 13:16. Acts 13:16 NKJV 16 Then Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen: What meaning, if any, did Yeshua have for the Gentiles? This is the question that faced the early leaders of the followers of Yeshua and was the subject of the meeting Luke described in Acts 15.
