English Standard Version

² And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and ^(A)debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and ^(B)some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to ^(C)the apostles and the elders about this question. ³ So, ^(D)being sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, ^(E)describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and ^(F)brought great joy to all ^(G)the brothers.^{[a] 4 (H)}When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and ^(I)the apostles and the elders, and ^(J)they declared all that God had done with them. ⁵ But some believers who belonged to ^(K)the party of the Pharisees rose up and said, ^(L)“It is necessary ^(M)to circumcise them and to order them to keep the law of Moses.”

^6 (N)The ^(O)apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter.
