The people who attended the Jerusalem Council primarily represented:
- Jerusalem congregation
- Antiochene congregation
- Apostles
The council, as described in Acts 15, was convened to address the issue of whether Gentile converts to Christianity needed to follow Jewish law, particularly concerning circumcision and dietary restrictions. The representatives included leaders from the Jerusalem church and representatives from the Antiochene church, as well as the apostles. The other groups listed (Samaritans, Zealots, Judaizers) were not directly represented in this specific council.
