Galatians 1:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Galatians 1:16

14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, ^abeing more exceedingly zealous ^bfor the traditions of my fathers.

15 But when it pleased God, ^awho separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace,

16 ^ato reveal His Son in me, that ^bI might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with ^cflesh and blood,

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