"This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them."
(Acts 15:2)

 The debate was whether keeping part of the Mosaic Law was needed for salvation.

Why was a group sent to Jerusalem?

"So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question."

Later, we will find out the apostles agreed with Paul and Barnabas.

On the way to Jerusalem (through Phoenicia and Samaria) Paul and Barnabas reported the good news of what had happened to the Gentiles.

"This news made all the brothers glad"
(Verse 3b)
