Galatians 1:11-17

LITV(i) 11 And, brothers, I make known to you the gospel preached by me, that it is not according to man. 12 For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but by a revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For you heard my way of life when I was in Judaism, that with surpassing zeal I persecuted the church of God and ravaged it. 14 And I progressed in Judaism beyond many contemporaries in my race, being much more a zealot of the traditions of my ancestors. 15 But when God was pleased, "He having separated me from my mother's womb" and having called through His grace, Isa. 49:1 16 to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the nations, immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia and returned again to Damascus.
