- Galatians 1:18 Paul visited Jerusalem to become acquainted with the head of the apostles (see Acts 9:23-31), whom he calls “Cephas” (Aramaic for “Rock”), the name given to Peter by Jesus himself (see Mt 16:18). He then went to Syria and Cilicia (including his hometown Tarsus) and probably did some evangelizing there. He was known to Christians in Judea only by reputation.
