Paul and Peter met in Jerusalem in A.D. 40, which was three years after Paul's conversion in A.D. 37. The meeting lasted about two weeks, and no other apostles were present—only Paul and Peter. This is distinct from the later Jerusalem council in A.D. 51.
Les explains that according to the chronology he is using, Paul and Peter met in Jerusalem in A.D. 40, three years after Paul's conversion in A.D. 37. The meeting was brief, about two weeks, and only Paul and Peter were present—none of the other apostles. Afterward, Paul went on to the area of his old hometown of Tarsus, ended up at Antioch, and then began his missionary journeys. Later, the Jerusalem council in Acts chapter 15, also referred to in Galatians chapter 2, took place in A.D. 51.
