Galatians 2:1-3

Expanded Bible

Other Apostles Accepted Paul

2 [^LThen] After fourteen years I went to Jerusalem again, this time with Barnabas [Acts 4:36; 9:26–27; 11:22, 25, 30; 13:2–4; 15:36–39]. I also took Titus [2 Cor. 2:13; Titus 1:4–5] with me. ² I went because ·God showed me I should go [^Lof a revelation]. There I met in private with ·the leaders of the church [or those who seemed to be leaders; or the prominent/influential ones] and I ·told [presented to; set before] them the ·Good News [Gospel] that I preach to the Gentiles. ·I did not want my past work and the work I am now doing to be wasted [^L…to make sure I was not running or had run in vain]. ³ Titus was with me, but he was not ·forced [compelled] to be circumcised [Gen. 17], even though he was a Greek.
