Galatians 1:17

Read in context

Galatians 1:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased

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

17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.

18 Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.

19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
