The Apostle Paul, referring to his 2nd journey to Jerusalem 14 years after his conversion to tell the Jerusalem Messianic Church apostles and elders there about the good news that had been committed to him, says:
Few Christians today realize that Jesus’ Twelve Apostles were ignorant of the scope and vital significance of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. Just consider all the verses referenced and the comments for each.
1. Matthew 16:21-22 – When Jesus first began to tell them of His death, Peter tried to prevent it.
2. Mark 8:31-32 – In another account Peter rebuked the Lord for speaking about His death.
At Pentecost Peter said:
“Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” (Acts 2:37-38)

A friend asks: “Have you heard the good news?” and you reply: “What good news?” Naturally! Not all good news is the same. The word “Gospel” simply means “the good news.”
Yet today, few people ask this question, “What gospel” when they read in the Bible the phrase “the gospel.”
The Apostle Paul traveled to meet with the Jerusalem Pentecostal Church leaders 14 years after his only earlier visit. Paul here refers to his meeting in Jerusalem when he told the apostles and elders there about the unique good news of the "gospel of the grace of God" that he had received directly from by the ascended Lord Jesus (Gal 1:12) for the Gentiles.
