15 But when God, who from my birth set me apart and called me by His grace, was pleased
16 to reveal His Son in me, so that I could preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone.
17 I did not go up to Jerusalem to those who had become apostles before me; instead I went to Arabia and came back to Damascus.
18 Then after three years I did go up to Jerusalem to get to know Cephas, and I stayed with him 15 days.
19 But I didn’t see any of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
20 Now I am not lying in what I write to you. God is my witness.
21 Afterward, I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
