Galatians 1:17-24

17 1nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to 2Damascus.

18Then 3three years later I went up 4to Jerusalem to 5become acquainted with 6Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days. 19But I did not see any other of the apostles except 7 8James, the Lord’s brother. 20(Now in what I am writing to you, 9I assure you 10before God that I am not lying.) 21Then 11I went into the regions of 12Syria and 13Cilicia. 22I was still unknown by 14sight to 15the churches of Judea which were 16in Christ; 23but only, they kept hearing, “He who once persecuted us is now preaching 17the faith which he once 18tried to destroy.” 24And they 19were glorifying God 20because of me.
