Acts 15:1-5
11Some men came down from Judea and began teaching 2the brethren, “Unless you are 3circumcised according to 4the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2And when Paul and Barnabas had 5great dissension and 6debate with them, 7the brethren determined that Paul and Barnabas and some others of them should go up to Jerusalem to the 8apostles and elders concerning this issue. 3Therefore, being 9sent on their way by the church, they were passing through both 10Phoenicia and Samaria, 11describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and were bringing great joy to all 12the brethren. 4When they arrived at Jerusalem, they were received by the church and 13the apostles and the elders, and they 14reported all that God had done with them. 5But some of 15the sect of the 16Pharisees who had believed stood up, saying, “It is necessary to 17circumcise them and to direct them to observe the Law of Moses.”
