Galatians 2:2 I went there because God revealed to me that I should go....
Paul wants everyone to know that his trip to Jerusalem wasn't from his own planning or cunningness. He was divinely instructed to go. It was revealed to him by God to go. This affirms Pauls mission wasn't from human initiation. He is not working in conjunction with mens plans or even his own plans. It also shows that his authority is a God given one. It is the authority of divine revelation. This reinforces Paul's point in 1:12 that the gospel Paul was given was through revelation.
