Paul, Barnabas and Titus Travel to Jerusalem Purpose of Trip: To dispute "Salvation by Faith in Christ" in contrast to "Practicing the Laws of Moses" "Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also. I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did this privately to those who seemed to be leaders, for fear that I was running or had run my race in vain. Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek. This matter arose because some false brothers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might remain with you" (Galatians 2:1-5). Notice that Paul goes to Jerusalem with Barnabas and Titus. In the book of Acts, the author Luke writes that the Apostle Paul went to Jerusalem with Barnabas and some other brothers. The journey to Jerusalem with these people aids in finding out when the Apostle Paul went to Jerusalem. However, the more important key to knowing that the Apostle Paul went to Jerusalem in AD 49 is the fact that his gospel was in dispute. The idea of circumcision as noted in the scripture above as well as the issues that are discussed by the church leaders as related to keeping the laws of Moses were disputed as recorded in Acts 15.
