How long after did Paul go up again to Jerusalem, and who went with him?

Fourteen years after, Paul went up again to Jerusalem, accompanied by Barnabas, and he also took Titus with him. The passage states he went up by revelation, meaning Christ directed him to the meeting with the twelve and the Jerusalem leaders.

Les teaches that in Galatians 2:1-2, Paul states it was 14 years after that he went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and he took Titus with him. Les points out that Paul went up by revelation, meaning Christ Himself led him; the Lord Jesus instructed the apostle to go to Jerusalem for the meeting with the twelve and the Jerusalem leaders. This follows the earlier point that Paul's gospel was not from men but by the revelation of Jesus Christ, and that he did not first confer with flesh and blood.

Galatians 2:1
