Paul’s visit to Corinth on his second missionary journey lasted 1 ½ years. I took Titus along also. I went in response to a revelation and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles.” Acts 18:11 “Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. Which of these visits is referenced by Paul in Galatians 2 is a matter of debate. Second, he goes for the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15:1ff). First, he goes to carry famine relief (Acts 11:27-30, 12:25). Paul makes two additional visits to Jerusalem according to the book of Acts. Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days.” Galatians 2:1-2 I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went into Arabia. “But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being. It seems that the visit to Jerusalem which Paul references in Galatians is the one mentioned in Acts 9:26, although the text of Acts omits any allusion to the intervening period which Paul specifies in Galatians. Paul spends three years in Arabia/Damascus before going up to Jerusalem.
