Who led Paul to go up to Jerusalem in Galatians 2?
Paul went up to Jerusalem by revelation, meaning Christ Himself led and directed him. The Lord Jesus instructed the apostle to attend the meeting in Jerusalem with the twelve and the Jerusalem leaders. So the one who led Paul was not flesh and blood but the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
In Galatians 2:1-2, Paul writes that after fourteen years he went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas and took Titus with him, and he went up by revelation. Les explains that this answers who led him: Christ did. The Lord Jesus Himself instructed the apostle to go up to Jerusalem and meet with the twelve and the Jerusalem leaders. Paul communicated to them the gospel he preached among the Gentiles, with absolute clarity, because his gospel to the Gentiles was distinct from what Peter and the eleven preached to the Jew, though it is the same God.
And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
