Galatians 1:17-24

New American Standard Bible 1995

^17 (A)nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to ^(B)Damascus.

¹⁸ Then ^(C)three years later I went up ^(D)to Jerusalem to ^[a]become acquainted with ^(E)Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days. ¹⁹ But I did not see any other of the apostles except ^[b](F)James, the Lord’s brother. ²⁰ (Now in what I am writing to you, ^[c]I assure you ^(G)before God that I am not lying.) ²¹ Then ^(H)I went into the regions of ^(I)Syria and ^(J)Cilicia. ²² I was still unknown by ^[d]sight to ^(K)the churches of Judea which were ^(L)in Christ; ²³ but only, they kept hearing, “He who once persecuted us is now preaching ^(M)the faith which he once ^(N)tried to destroy.” ²⁴ And they ^(O)were glorifying God ^[e]because of me.
