11 But xzI certify you, brethren, that ythe gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For zI neither received it aof man, neither was I taught it, but by athe revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For ye have heard of my bconversation in time past in the cJews’ religion, how that dbeyond measure I persecuted ethe church of God, and fwasted it: 14 And gprofited in the cJews’ religion above many my †equals in mine own nation, hbeing more exceedingly zealous of ithe traditions of my fathers. 15 *But when jit pleased God, kwho separated me from my mother’s womb, and lcalled me by his grace, 16 aTo reveal his Son in me, mthat I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I nconferred not with oflesh and blood: 17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into pArabia, and returned again unto qDamascus. 18 *Then after rthree years rrI ||went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him sfifteen days. 19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save tJames uthe Lord’s brother.
