Galatians 1:15-24

15But when he awho had set me apart bbefore I was born,
Greek  set me apart from my mother’s womb
and who dcalled me by his grace,
16was pleased to reveal his Son to
Greek in
me, in order fthat I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;
Greek with flesh and blood
17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

18Then hafter three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. 19But I saw none of the other apostles except James ithe Lord’s brother. 20(In what I am writing to you, jbefore God, I do not lie!) 21 kThen I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22And I was still unknown in person to lthe churches of Judea that are in Christ. 23They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” 24And they glorified God because of me.
