Quote:
However, we find the actual text to be quite different. Peter does give a good synopsis of what God had taught him at the house of Cornelius, but the people kept silent so they could hear Paul and Barnabas. Verse 13 says (after Peter spoke), "Then the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul . . ."


No different than what has happened in Church Councils throughout Church history. The Pope opens the Council and the Bishops hash out the issues and then the Pope approves.
