Matthew Poole and continuators on Galatians 2:1

1 THen fourteen years after , I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also .

Either fourteen years after the three years before mentioned, and the fifteen dayes; or fourteen years after the conversion of Paul ▪ or fourteen years after the death of Christ. This journey seeming to be that mentioned Acts. 15.2. it seems rather to be understood of fourteen years after the death of Christ.

Motions to Ierusalem are usually in Scripture called ascendings or goings up; either because of the Mountains round about it, or in respect of the famousness of the place, see Acts 15.2. and 21.4. The occasion of this journey we have Acts 15.2, 3. It was to advise with the Apostles and Elders, about the necessity of circumcision, ver. 1. Some that came from Iudea, having taught the Disciples at Antioch, that except they were circumcised, they could not be saved.

Barnabas was chosen to go with Paul, verse 2. and some others, whom Luke nameth not, but it is plain by this Text Titus was one.
