Galatians 2:9 Douay-Rheims

And when they had known the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship: that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision:

Gregory of Nyssa

c. A.D. 335–395 Patristic
