The present section deals with the events concerning the conversion of Peter (Acts 9:31–11:18) whereby he at last comes to understand that the good news of Jesus is for Jews and Gentiles alike. Since the Greek pages of Codex Bezae are missing from 8:29 to 10:14 and the Latin ones from 8:20b to 10:4, we have noted in the Critical Apparatus the variants of other witnesses that differ from the Alexandrian text. From 10:4b (fol. 455a), the Latin text of Codex Bezae is available. The Greek text starts at 10:14b (fol. 455b).

THE VARIANT READINGS OF THE WESTERN
TEXT OF THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES (XVI)
(ACTS 9:31-11:18)
JOSEP RIUS-CAMPS AND JENNY READ-HEIMERDINGER
The present section deals with the events concerning the conversion of
Peter (Acts 9:31–11:18) whereby he at last comes to understand that the
good news of Jesus is for Jews and Gentiles alike. Since the Greek pages of
Codex Bezae are missing from 8:29 to 10:14 and the Latin ones from 8:20b to
10:4, we have noted in the Critical Apparatus the variants of other witnesses
that differ from the Alexandrian text. From 10:4b (fol. 455a), the Latin text
of Codex Bezae is available. The Greek text starts at 10:14b (fol. 455b).
II. The Gestation of a New Church (cont.)
[BA′] 9:31-11:18 Peter
The third sub-sequence [BA′] of the threefold sequence [B] is devoted
to Peter. It corresponds to that of Philip, the Hellenist leader who was
the topic of the first sub-sequence [BA]. Spanning over two chapters, it
is as long as the other two sub-sequences together, an indication of the
importance of the problem it treats for the whole of the book.
This is the first time in the book of Acts that Peter is presented on
his own. He has been the spokesperson on earlier occasions (e.g. 1:15-26;
2:14-40) and has played an active, even leading, part in previous incidents
of healing and other miracles but always in the company of other apostles
(5:12-16); even when he has appeared to be the sole protagonist, John has
been there with him (3:1, 3, 11; 4:13, 19; 8:14, 25). Now, though, it is time
for Peter’s story, which will continue with intermittent diversions through
to the end of chapter 12.
There are three episodes in this sub-sequence. The first divides into
two scenes and the second into four:
[BA′-A] 9:31-43 Peter in Judaea
[AA] 9:31-35 Peter in Lydda
[AA′] 9:36-43 Peter in Joppa
[BA′-B] 10:1–11.1 Cornelius
