Luke gives the impression that Paul saw many apostles during his visit to Jerusalem (Acts 9:26–30). It is possible that Paul briefly saw everyone, and had significant conversations only with Peter and James. Alternatively, it is also possible that he only saw two (with James being included as one of them).1 Acts 11:30 and Acts 12:1–2 make it clear that the apostles did leave the city and thus we should not be surprised if they were not all present for Paul’s first visit.2
19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord’s brother.
