18 It was three years later that I went to Jerusalem to obtain information from Peter, and I stayed with him for two weeks.
19 I did not see any other apostle except James, the Lord's brother.
20 What I write is true. God knows that I am not lying!
21 Afterwards I went to places in Syria and Cilicia.
22 At that time the members of the churches in Judea did not know me personally.
23 They knew only what others were saying: “The man who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith that he once tried to destroy!”
24 And so they praised God because of me.
