Galatians 1:16

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.

Contacts at Jerusalem

18 Then after three years ^aI went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days.

19 But ^aI saw none of the other apostles except ^bJames, the Lord’s brother.

20 (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.)

21 ^aAfterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

<< Galatians 1:15

Galatians 1:17 >>

Galatians 1:16 To reveal his Son in me. It was one thing to call him, as was done on the way to Damascus; another to reveal Christ to him. This was needful that he should be a witness of the resurrection to the Gentiles. I conferred not with flesh and blood. He did not go to men to learn more, or for counsel.
