Verse. 1. With Barnabas, and took with me Titus.
Verse. 1. VVith Barnabas, and tooke vvith me Titus.
1He joineth unto himself two witnesses, Barnabas and Titus. Barnabas was Pauls companion in preaching to the Gentiles freedom from the servitude of the law. He was also a witness of all those things which Paul did,2 and had seen the holy Ghost given unto the Gentiles which were circumcised and free from Moses law, by the only preaching of faith in Jesus Christ, & he only stuck to Paul in this point: that it was not necessary that the Gentiles should be burdened with the law, but that it was enough for them to believe in Christ. Wherefore by his own experience he testifieth with Paul against the Jews, that the Gentiles were made the children of God & saved by faith alone in Jesus Christ, without the law or circumcision.
