Galatians 2:1 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also. I. WHICH? The third (Acts 15:2), the first being that of the previous chapter (Acts 9:26), the second that of Acts 11:30, both the purpose and time of which forbid its being confounded with them. Both Galatians 2. and Acts 15. agree in time, geography, persons, intent, and subsequent events. II. WHEN? Fourteen years after, when by experiences, trials, and achievements, Paul had earned the right to take the position he had assumed. Let young Christians learn from this to wait until experience and service give them the right to assert their equality with their elders. III. WHAT FOR? To fight and win the battle of Christian liberty, equality, and fraternity. IV. WITH WHOM? Titus, a representative of the cause he was fighting; Barnabas, an unexceptionable witness of the justice of his cause.
