17. nor went I up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.
18. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;
19. but I saw none other of the apostles, but James the brother of the Lord.
20. Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.
21. Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22. But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which are in Christ;
23. only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:
24. and they glorified God in me.
