Galatians 1:15-24
15But whenG3753 God, who had setG873 me apartG873 even from my mother’sG3384 wombG2836 and 1calledG2564 me throughG1223 His graceG5485, was pleasedG2106 16to revealG601 His SonG5207 in me soG2443 that I might 2preachG2097 Him amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, 3I did not immediatelyG2112 consultG4323 with 45fleshG4561 and bloodG129, 176norG3761 did I goG424 up to JerusalemG2414 to thoseG3588 who were apostlesG652 beforeG4253 me; but I wentG565 awayG565 to ArabiaG688, and returnedG5290 onceG3825 moreG3825 to 7DamascusG1154.
18ThenG1899 8threeG5140 yearsG2094 laterG3326 I wentG424 up 9to JerusalemG2414 to 10becomeG2477 acquaintedG2477 with 11CephasG2786, and stayedG1961 with him fifteenG1178 daysG2250. 19But I did not seeG3708 anyG2087 otherG2087 of the apostlesG652 exceptG1508 1213JamesG2385, the Lord’sG2962 brotherG80. 20(NowG1161 in whatG3739 I am writingG1125 to you, 14I assureG2400 you 15beforeG1799 GodG2316 that I am not lyingG5574.) 21ThenG1899 16I wentG2064 into the regionsG2824 of 17SyriaG4947 and 18CiliciaG2791. 22I was still unknownG50 by 19sightG4383 to 20the churchesG1577 of JudeaG2453 which were 21in ChristG5547; 23but onlyG3440, they kept hearingG191, “He who onceG4218 persecutedG1377 us is nowG3568 preachingG2097 22the faithG4102 whichG3739 he onceG4218 23tried to destroyG4199.” 24And they 24were glorifyingG1392 GodG2316 25becauseG1722 of me.
