Galatians 1:11-24

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹¹ But I make known unto you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not according to man.

¹² For I did not receive it nor learn it from man, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹³ For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in Judaism, how that beyond measure I was persecuting and destroying the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of God

¹⁴ And profited in Judaism above many of my equals in my own nation, being exceedingly more zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

¹⁵ But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace,

¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me that I might preach him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood,

¹⁷ neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those who 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 I saw none of the other apostles, except James the Lord’s brother.

²⁰ Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I do not lie.

²¹ Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia

²² and was unknown by face unto the congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of Judaea which were in Christ,

²³ but they had only heard, That he who persecuted us in time past now preaches the faith which he once destroyed.

²⁴ And they glorified God in me.
