Galatians:1:11-24

*
And ,
brothers ,
I make known to you the gospel preached by me ,
that it is not according to man .
*
For I did not receive it from man ,
nor was I taught it ,
but by a revelation of Jesus Christ .
*
For you heard my way of life when I was in Judaism ,
that with surpassing zeal I persecuted the church of God and ravaged it .
*
And I progressed in Judaism beyond many contemporaries in my race ,
being much more a zealot of the traditions of my ancestors .
*
But when God was pleased , "
He having separated me from my mother '
s womb "
and having called through His grace ,
Isaiah .

49:1
*
to reveal His Son in me ,
that I might preach Him among the nations ,
immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood ,
*
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles before me ,
but I went away into Arabia and returned again to Damascus .
*
Then after three years ,
I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Peter and remained with him fifteen days .
*
But I saw no other of the apostles except James the brother of the Lord .
*
And what I write to you ,
behold ,
before God I do not lie .
*
Then I went into the regions of Syria and of Cilicia ,
*
but I was not known by face to the churches of Judea in Christ .
*
But only they were hearing that he who was persecuting us then ,
now proclaims the faith which he then ravaged ;
*
and they glorified God in me .
