Galatians 2:8 in Context — Galatians 2

6 E quanto aos de maior influência (o que haviam sido antes não me importa; Deus não se interessa na aparência humana); esses, pois, que eram influentes, nada me acrescentaram.

9 e quando Tiago, Cefas, e João, que eram considerados como colunas, reconheceram a graça que me foi dada, eles estenderam as mãos direitas de comunhão a mim e a Barnabé, para que nós [fôssemos] aos gentios, e eles aos circuncisos;
