  2. Explication du texte

What does it mean for those who were scattered to tell the message only to Jews?

Actes 11:19 (NEG79)

19 Ceux qui avaient été dispersés par la persécution survenue à propos d'Etienne allèrent jusqu'en Phénicie, dans l'île de Chypre, et à Antioche, annonçant la parole seulement aux Juifs.

Since Jews were familiar with the Old Testament and waiting for the coming of the Messiah, it makes a lot of sense for Christian believers to focus on proclaiming the good news about Jesus to them as a first priority. This focus accords with the instructions of Jesus (see Matthew 10:1–8).
