‏ Galatians 2:9-10

v. 9–10: The apostles extended the right hand of fellowship to Paul and Barnabas, affirming their equality and partnership in the gospel. They agreed that Paul and Barnabas would focus on the Gentiles, while they continued with the Jews. The only additional request was that Paul remember to help the poor in Jerusalem, which he was eager to do (And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do, Galatians 2:9–10 a).
