Barnabas » Is sent as an emissary to jerusalem
Fourteen years later I went again to Jerusalem with Barnabas. I took Titus with me also. I went in response to a revelation. I demonstrated to them the way I spread the good news among the people of the nations. I did this privately before them for they have a reputation. I am concerned that by any means I should be running, or had run, in vain. Titus was with me and he was not persuaded to be circumcised. He is a Greek. read more.
This occurred because of the false brothers brought in secretly. They came to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus. This was so they might bring us into bondage. We did not yield to them for a moment or an hour! That way the truth of the good news (the whole body of Christian teachings) might continue with you. Those who were recognized as important people did not add a single thing to my message. What sort of people they were makes no difference to me. God does not play favorites (show partiality). On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the good news to people who are not circumcised. Just as Peter had been entrusted with the good news to the people who are circumcised. 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). When they saw the grace that was given to me, James, Cephas (Peter) and John, they who were known to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship. We were to go to the nations and they were to go to the people who are circumcised.

It pleased God to separate me even from my mother's womb and call me through his grace. He revealed his Son to me that I might preach him among the nations. I do not confer with flesh and blood (human beings). I did not go to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before I was. I went away to Arabia and again I returned to Damascus. read more.
Then after three years I went to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and waited with him fifteen days. But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother. What I write is true. God knows I do not lie. Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia. I was still unknown by face to the congregations of Judea that are in Christ. They heard it said: He that once persecuted us now preaches the faith he once tried to destroy. They glorified God because of me.
