Act 15:1 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Act 14:28      Act 15:2

Acts 15:1

But some men had come down from Judea [to the church in Antioch in Syria]. They had begun to teach the brothers (and insisted on their opinion): "You cannot be saved unless you are circumcised, as Moses taught us."
[The sentence begins with "But" and is related to Paul and Barnabas' testimony about how the door of faith had been opened to the Gentiles, see Acts 14:27. According to Gen. 17:9–14, all Jewish men must be circumcised. The fact that those who taught this came from Judea indicates that they came from this area with its capital Jerusalem, but also that they had a strict Jewish mindset. While Paul and Barnabas were away on their missionary journey, these Jewish men had begun to teach that everyone must follow Jewish customs, even the large Gentile Christian part of the congregation without a Jewish background. Paul describes the same subject in the Epistle to the Galatians. Although there are differences and Bible scholars are divided on the date of the letter, it is the same conflict that is addressed there, where even Peter and Barnabas had been drawn in by fear of those who insisted that the Gentiles should also be circumcised, see Gal. 2:11–14.]
