Galatians 1:11-19 (Epistle, Saint)
- 11
- But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
- 12
- For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
- 13
- For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.
- 14
- And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
- 15
- But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace,
- 16
- to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh 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.
- 18
- Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days.
- 19
- But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
