Galatians 1:17-2:1
New International Version
17 I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went into Arabia. Later I returned to Damascus.(A)
18 Then after three years,(B) I went up to Jerusalem(C) to get acquainted with Cephas[a] and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 I saw none of the other apostles—only James,(D) the Lord’s brother. 20 I assure you before God(E) that what I am writing you is no lie.(F)
21 Then I went to Syria(G) and Cilicia.(H) 22 I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea(I) that are in Christ.(J) 23 They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith(K) he once tried to destroy.”(L) 24 And they praised God(M) because of me.
Paul Accepted by the Apostles
2 Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem,(N) this time with Barnabas.(O) I took Titus(P) along also.

Galatians 1:17-2:1
King James Version
17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
24 And they glorified God in me.
2 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
