Acts 12:24 KJV

But the word of God grew and multiplied.

From Background Notes [BN] for June 23rd & 24th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

The first half of Luke's account of the early church has been dominated by the work of the apostles and other believers connected with the Jerusalem Christ community ― most especially Peter. With the revelation of Acts 10-11 that the Gospel must be taken to the Gentiles, and that they have full membership in the covenant community of Israel,  fresh momentum builds

 ...for an outward movement into the wider Gentile world ― wider than Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria!  Already, Antioch has equaled Jerusalem in importance for this new mission. [BN, 1-2]
