Acts 11:2

And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they who were of the circumcision, disputed against him,

Disputed against him. St. Epiphanius makes Cerinthus, who was the next heresiarch to Simon Magus, the author of this dispute. He likewise says it was he, who excited the Jews against St. Paul, (Acts xxi.) and that the first Council of Jerusalem was convened to condemn him. (St. Epiphanius, haeres. 28. ch. II)
