13 For you have heard of my former way of life in Yehuḏaism, how intensely I persecuted the assembly of Elohim, and ravaged it.
14 And I progressed in Yehuḏaism beyond many of my age in my race, being more exceedingly ardent for the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it pleased Elohim, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me by His favour,
16 to reveal His Son in me, that I might bring Him, the Good News, to the gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,
17 neither did I go up to Yerushalayim, to those who were emissaries before me. But I went to Araḇia, and returned again to Damascus.
18 Then after three years I went up to Yerushalayim to learn from Kĕpha, and remained with him for fifteen days.
19 And I saw no other of the emissaries except Ya‛aqoḇ, the brother of the Master.
