The Watchtower, “Part 2—Flashes of Light—Great and Small”
“The Bible Students held that Peter received two keys that opened up the way for people to become Kingdom heirs—one for the Jews, used at Pentecost 33 C.E., and the other for the Gentiles, used first in 36 C.E. when Peter preached to Cornelius. … In time, it was seen that there was a third group involved—the Samaritans.”
The paragraph cites The Watchtower of 1 October 1979, pages 16-22, 26, as the place where the count of symbolic keys changed from two to three.
