How Paul Was Accepted by the Apostles in Jerusalem

2 Then fourteen years later, I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus with me. ² I went in response to a revelation, and in a private meeting with the reputed leaders, I explained to them the gospel that I’m proclaiming to the gentiles.
