11: But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

12: For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

13: For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

14: And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly 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 heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

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.
