15. But, when it pleased him who, from my mother's womb, had set me apart, and who has called me by his grace,
16. to reveal his Son within me, so that I might evangelize him among the Gentiles, I did not next seek the consent of flesh and blood.
17. Neither did I go to Jerusalem, to those who were Apostles before me. Instead, I went into Arabia, and next I returned to Damascus.
18. And then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem to see Peter; and I stayed with him for fifteen days.
19. But I saw none of the other Apostles, except James, the brother of the Lord.
20. Now what I am writing to you: behold, before God, I am not lying.
21. Next, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22. But I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ.
23. For they had only heard that: "He, who formerly persecuted us, now evangelizes the faith which he once fought."
24. And they glorified God in me.
