Galatians 2:1-10 - Paul's Ministry Recognized By The Jerusalem Apostles
1 Then after fourteen years, I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking also Titus with me; 2 but I went up according to revelation; and I presented to them the gospel which I am preaching among the Gentiles, but privately to the prominent ones, lest perhaps I am running, or did run, in vain. 3 But neither was Titus the one with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised: 4 but on account of the false brethren having crept in, who came in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order that they shall bring us into bondage: 5 to whom I rendered not submission for an hour; in order that the truth of the gospel may abide with you.
6 But of those seeming to be something what they were at that time makes no difference to me: God does not receive the face of man: for those seeming to me to be prominent added nothing extra: 7 but on the contrary, seeing that I am intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, like Peter of the circumcision, 8 for the one having wrought with Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision also wrought with me unto the Gentiles: 9 and having known the grace of God which was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who seem to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision; 10 only that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do.
