1:16 to reveal his Son in
me so that I could preach him
among the Gentiles, I did not go to ask advice from
any human being,
1:17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem
to see those who were apostles before me, but right away I departed to Arabia,
and then returned to Damascus.
1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and get information from him, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
1:19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord’s brother.
