The apostle clarifies that he did not go to Jerusalem to give an account or seek approval, but “following a revelation” (2), alluding to the Holy Spirit, whom he always considered the true protagonist of all his apostolic decisions. And there, in the midst of the assembly, he speaks about his ministry among the Gentiles: he does not require circumcision or compliance with the law from those who convert. The leaders in Jerusalem not only approved his actions but also confirmed his authority as an apostle to the Gentiles, just as they confirmed Peter’s authority among the Jews.
