Peter arrives in Jerusalem and begins talking to the Jews there.

This is a reference to some of the Jews who believed that every believer must be circumcised. Alternate translation: "some Jewish believers in Jerusalem who wanted all followers of Christ to be circumcised" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
