"Council of Jerusalem" is a name applied subsequently to a meeting described in Acts of the Apostles chapter Acts 15 and probably referred to in St. Paul's letter to the Galatians. The events described there are generally dated to around the year 50, at the latest some time before the death of James the Just in 62. St.Paul himself described several meetings with the apostles in Jerusalem, though it is difficult to reconcile any of them fully with the account in Acts (see Paul of Tarsus - 'Council of Jerusalem). Paul claims he "went up again to Jerusalem" ( ie a second time) with Barnabas and Titus "in response to a revelation", in order to "lay before them the gospel (he) proclaimed among the Gentiles" (Gal 2:2); them being according to Paul "those who were supposed to be acknowledged lead

  • "Council of Jerusalem" is a name applied subsequently to a meeting described in Acts of the Apostles chapter Acts 15 and probably referred to in St. Paul's letter to the Galatians. The events described there are generally dated to around the year 50, at the latest some time before the death of James the Just in 62. St.Paul himself described several meetings with the apostles in Jerusalem, though it is difficult to reconcile any of them fully with the account in Acts (see Paul of Tarsus - 'Council of Jerusalem). Paul claims he "went up again to Jerusalem" ( ie a second time) with Barnabas and Titus "in response to a revelation", in order to "lay before them the gospel (he) proclaimed among the Gentiles" (Gal 2:2); them being according to Paul "those who were supposed to be acknowledged leaders" (Gal 2:6): James, Cephas and John/ He describes this as a "private meeting" (not a public council) and notes that neither he nor Titus, who was Greek, were pressurised to be circumcised (7). However, he refers to "false believers secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy on the freedom (8) we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might enslave us" (Gal 2:4). Paul claims the pillars had no differences with him, on the contrary they gave him the "right hand of fellowship", he bound for the mission to the uncircumcised and they to the circumcised, requesting only that he remember the poor (9) of Jerusalem. Whether this was the same meeting as that described in Acts is not universally agreed.
