Acts 11:27-30

ACTS—NOTE ON Acts 11:27 Paul and Barnabas represented the Antioch church by bringing its offering to the Jerusalem church in a time of need (see chart). Paul says in Galatians 2:1 that this second visit to Jerusalem (Acts 11:30) took place “after fourteen years” (presumably 14 years after his conversion), so it occurred in either A.D. 45, 46, or 47. Most commentators believe these calculations of years were made according to ancient “inclusive” methods, in which part of a year was still counted as a year. Paul’s “fourteen years” could have been as little as twelve and a half years by modern methods of counting.
