Galatians 1:16-20

to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,

nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus.

Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him for fifteen days.

But I did not see another one of the apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.

(Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I am not lying.)
