When did Paul go up to Jerusalem again, and who went with him?
Fourteen years after, Paul went up again to Jerusalem, and Barnabas went with him; he also took Titus along. Scripture records this in Galatians 2:1. Paul states he went up by revelation, meaning Christ directed him to meet with the twelve and the Jerusalem leaders.
Les explains that Galatians 2:1 answers this plainly: “14 years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas and took Titus with me.” Paul’s companion was Barnabas, and Titus also went. Verse 2 adds that Paul went up by revelation—Christ led him. The Lord Jesus Himself instructed the apostle to go up to Jerusalem to this meeting with the twelve and the Jerusalem leaders. Earlier, Paul emphasizes that he did not confer with flesh and blood, nor did he go up to Jerusalem to those who were before him; instead he went into Arabia. Les notes that the Arabia Paul mentions is Sinai, the same mountain where God revealed the law to Moses and where He revealed the doctrines of grace.
Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
