Galatians 1:10-20
English Standard Version
11For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man 's gospel.
12For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
13For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it.
14And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.
15But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace,
16was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;
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.
