“And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.”
When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and elders, and they reported all that God had done with them — the formal reception (dechtomai) and the reiteration that God (not the missionaries) accomplished the work establishes the theological foundation: the conversions were divinely initiated, not human manipulation.
