Commentary on Acts 11:19
After Stephen's martyrdom, scattered believers 'travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.' Persecution scattered the church, but they continued preaching despite danger. Initially they preached only to Jews, not yet grasping the full scope of the Gentile mission. From a Reformed perspective, God used persecution (intended by Satan to destroy the church) to spread the gospel geographically. Even the believers' initial limitation to Jewish audiences served God's purposes in progressive revelation of the Gentile mission.
