# Some men

"Some men." You can make explicit that these men were Jews who believed in Christ. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# came down from Judea

The phrase "came down" is used here because Judea is higher in elevation than Antioch.

# taught the brothers

Here "brothers" stands for believers in Christ. It is implied that they were in Antioch. AT: "taught the believers at Antioch" or "were teaching the believers at Antioch" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved

# a sharp dispute and debate with them

# go up to Jerusalem

Jerusalem was higher than almost any other place in Israel, so it was normal for Israelites to speak of going up to Jerusalem.
