It was during this tour that Peter was called to preach the Gospel to Cornelius ; the year succeeding the conversion of Saul was probably spent by Peter in building up the society at the metropolis, his tour apparently occupied the summer of the year following ; and in the third year Paul, on his visit to Jerusalem, finds Peter returned thither....
