Galatians 1:18-2:2
New American Standard Bible
18 Then (A)three years later I went up (B)to Jerusalem to [a]become acquainted with [b](C)Cephas, and stayed with him for fifteen days. 19 But I did not see another one of the apostles except [c](D)James, the Lord’s brother. 20 (Now in what I am writing to you, [d]I assure you (E)before God that I am not lying.) 21 Then (F)I went into the regions of (G)Syria and (H)Cilicia. 22 I was still unknown by [e]sight to (I)the churches of Judea which are (J)in Christ; 23 but they only kept hearing, “The man who once persecuted us is now preaching (K)the faith which he once (L)tried to destroy.” 24 And they (M)were glorifying God [f]because of me.
The Council at Jerusalem
2 Then after an interval of fourteen years I (N)went up again to Jerusalem with (O)Barnabas, taking (P)Titus along also. 2 [g]It was because of a (Q)revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the (R)gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that somehow I might be (S)running, or had run, in vain.

New International Version
18 Then after three years,(A) I went up to Jerusalem(B) to get acquainted with Cephas[a] and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 I saw none of the other apostles—only James,(C) the Lord’s brother. 20 I assure you before God(D) that what I am writing you is no lie.(E)
21 Then I went to Syria(F) and Cilicia.(G) 22 I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea(H) that are in Christ.(I) 23 They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith(J) he once tried to destroy.”(K) 24 And they praised God(L) because of me.
Paul Accepted by the Apostles
2 Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem,(M) this time with Barnabas.(N) I took Titus(O) along also. 2 I went in response to a revelation(P) and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles.(Q) I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race(R) in vain.
