Galatians 2:1-10 - Paul's Ministry Recognized By The Jerusalem Apostles

¹ Fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me. ² But I went up according to a divine revelation, and laid before them the gospel which I preach among the gentiles: though privately to those of note, least I should run, or had run in vain. ³ But even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised; ⁴ and that because of the false brethren clandestinely introduced, who had crept in as spies upon our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: ⁵ to whom we yielded no submission, not even for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

⁶ And as to those who seemed to be men of note, whatever they were, it is all one to me, (God accepteth no man's person) for even these eminent persons added nothing more to me. ⁷ But on the contrary, seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of uncircumcision, as Peter was with that of the circumcision; ⁸ (for He who wrought effectually in Peter as to the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought effectually also in me as to the gentiles:) ⁹ and knowing the grace which was given to me; James, and Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars of the church, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go to the gentiles, and they to the circumcision. ¹⁰ Only desiring that we would remember the poor: which I also was forward to do.
