Les explains that Paul wrote Galatians some 14, about 20 to 22 years after Pentecost. He calls it a long time. By that point, the Jerusalem leaders still thought they were the somewhat, but their power base was slipping away. Les points out that earlier, Jewish believers in the Jerusalem congregation had sold land and houses and laid the proceeds at the apostles' feet, even Barnabas selling his land on Cyprus, because the apostles were in control. But now, 20 to 22 years after Pentecost, Paul writes by inspiration, and their power base was slipping.
