Galatians 2:9

Back to Verses

And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

When James, Peter, and John, who appeared to be strong supporters, saw the grace I received, they gave Barnabas and me their support. We were to reach out to non-Jews, while they reached out to Jews who followed the Jewish laws.
