Galatians 2:1-13 Then, fourteen years later, I went up to Jerusalem again, with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then, fourteen years later, I went up to Jerusalem again, with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me. ² It was in obedience to a revelation that I went. I laid before them the good news that I preach to the heathen, presenting it privately to the leaders, for fear my efforts might be or might have been futile. ³ But they did not insist that even my companion Titus, although he was a Greek, should be circumcised, ⁴ to gratify the false brothers who had been smuggled in, who sneaked in to spy upon the freedom we enjoy in Christ Jesus, so as to reduce us to slavery again. ⁵ But we did not submit to them for a moment, in order that the truth of the good news might remain yours. ⁶ Those who were regarded as the leaders—what they once were makes no difference to me; God takes no account of external differences—the leaders contributed nothing new to me. ⁷ On the contrary, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the good news for the heathen, just as Peter had been intrusted with it for the Jews— ⁸ for he who actuated Peter to be an apostle to the Jews also actuated me to be one to the heathen— ⁹ and when they recognized the favor God had shown me, James, Cephas, and John, who were regarded as pillars of the church, pledged Barnabas and me their co-operation, with the understanding that we should work among the heathen and they among the Jews. ¹⁰ Only, we were to remember the poor, and that I have taken pains to do. ¹¹ But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, for his own conduct condemned him. ¹² For until some people came from James, he used to eat with the heathen, but after they came, he began to draw back and hold aloof, for fear of the party of circumcision. ¹³ The other Jewish Christians followed his example in concealing their real views, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their pose.
