Galatians 1:16-24

16to reveal His Son in me so that I might 1preach Him among the Gentiles, 2I did not immediately consult with 3 4flesh and blood, 17 5nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to 6Damascus.

18Then 7three years later I went up 8to Jerusalem to 9become acquainted with 10 11Cephas, and stayed with him for fifteen days. 19But I did not see another one of the apostles except 12 13James, the Lord’s brother. 20(Now in what I am writing to you, 14I assure you 15before God that I am not lying.) 21Then 16I went into the regions of 17Syria and 18Cilicia. 22I was still unknown by 19sight to 20the churches of Judea which are 21in Christ; 23but they only kept hearing, “The man who once persecuted us is now preaching 22the faith which he once 23tried to destroy.” 24And they 24were glorifying God 25because of me.
