Galatians 2 — Context

1

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

2

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.

3

Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, although he was a Greek.

4

Now this matter arose because of the false brothers with false pretenses who slipped in unnoticed to spy on our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, to make us slaves.
