Galatians 2:1

Verse 1

1. Fourteen years after That this visit cannot be identified with Paul’s brief mission to Jerusalem mentioned Acts 11:30 we have shown in our note on that verse.

The time, persons, and business is the same in both narratives. Titus is doubtless included in the certain other of them of Acts 15:2, and was taken by Paul, as a young Gentile Christian, to test the question whether he should be required to be circumcised. Galatians 2:3. Probably Titus was with Paul at Corinth when writing this epistle.
