Paul Accepted by the Apostles
2 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titusalong with me. 2 I went up because of a revelation and set before them (thoughprivately before those lwho seemed influential) the gospel that mI proclaim among theGentiles, nin order to make sure I was not running or had not orun in vain. 3 But evenTitus, who was with me, pwas not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek. 4 qYetbecause of false brothers secretly brought in—who rslipped in to spy out sour freedomthat we have in Christ Jesus, tso that they might bring us into slavery— 5 to them we didnot yield in submission even for a moment, so that uthe truth of the gospel might bepreserved for you. 6 And from those vwho seemed to be influential (what they were makesno difference to me; wGod shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influentialxadded nothing to me. 7 On the contrary, when they saw that I had been yentrusted withzthe gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to thecircumcised 8 (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to thecircumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles), 9 and when James andCephas and John, vwho seemed to be apillars, perceived the bgrace that was given to me,they cgave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to theGentiles and they to the circumcised. 10 Only, they asked us to remember the poor, dthevery thing I was eager to do.
Paul Opposes Peter
11 But ewhen Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him fto his face, because he stoodcondemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, ghe was eating with the Gentiles;but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing hthe circumcisionparty.Or fearing those of the circumcision" href="https://www.esv.org/Galatians+2/#f1-">1 13 And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that evenBarnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that their iconduct was notin step with jthe truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas kbefore them all, “If you, though aJew, llive like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live likeJews?”
