Context Readings

Paul's Ministry Recognized By The Jerusalem Apostles

8 The one who made Peter an apostle to the Jewish people (who are circumcised) also made me an apostle to the people of the nations (who are not circumcised). 9 and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10 They wanted us to remember the poor. I was eager (zealous) to do this very thing.
