The Dispute over Circumcision

15 Then some men came down from Judea [and] were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 And after engaging [these men] in sharp debate, Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other [ believers ], to go up to Jerusalem to [see] the apostles and elders about this question.

3 Sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, recounting the conversion of the Gentiles and bringing great joy to all the brothers. 4 [On] their arrival in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and apostles and elders, [to whom] they reported all that God had done through them.
