Galatians 1:11-19 (Apostle)
11 |
But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. |
12 |
For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. |
13 |
For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it. |
14 |
And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. |
15 |
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through His grace, |
16 |
to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood, |
17 |
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus. |
18 |
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days. |
19 |
But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother. |
