What year do most chronologists give for the Jerusalem Council?
Most chronologists give around 51 or 52 A.D. for the Jerusalem Council, using the fourteen-year period after Paul's conversion as a benchmark. However, no two chronologers agree completely, so the date is not definitive and can vary by a few years.
In the context of Galatians chapter 2, Les teaches that Paul went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas fourteen years after his conversion on the road to Damascus. Les notes that while the Lord occasionally provides time elements, chronologers still differ; some date Galatians to 57, 58, or 60, and no two agree completely. Nevertheless, most chronologists feel the Jerusalem Council occurred around 51 or 52 A.D., using this fourteen-year interval as a benchmark to connect Paul's conversion, his time in Arabia and Damascus, and his later work with Barnabas at Antioch.
