Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and get information from him, and I stayed with him fifteen days.

Afterward I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

Then after fourteen years I went up to Jerusalem again with Barnabas, taking Titus along too.

I went there because of a revelation and presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did so only in a private meeting with the influential people, to make sure that I was not running -- or had not run -- in vain.
