Galatians 1:15-24
15But when 1He who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and 2called me through His grace was pleased 16to reveal His Son in me so that I might 3preach Him among the Gentiles, 4I did not immediately consult with 56flesh and blood, 177nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to 8Damascus.
18Then 9three years later I went up 10to Jerusalem to 11become acquainted with 1213Cephas, and stayed with him for fifteen days. 19But I did not see another one of the apostles except 1415James, the Lord’s brother. 20(Now in what I am writing to you, 16I assure you 17before God that I am not lying.) 21Then 18I went into the regions of 19Syria and 20Cilicia. 22I was still unknown by 21sight to 22the churches of Judea which are 23in Christ; 23but they only kept hearing, “The man who once persecuted us is now preaching 24the faith which he once 25tried to destroy.” 24And they 26were glorifying God 27because of me.
