to a related charge about his message in 1:11–12. Some suggest that his opponents envision his pre-Christian agency (Acts 9:2; 22:5; 26:10) or the mediation of Ananias (9:17),25 but it is more likely that they view him as a mere emissary of the Antioch church (11:30),26 and likeliest of all that they view him as having gotten his message from the Jerusalem apostles (cf. Gal. 1:17–20; 2:1–2, 6). In other words, they charge that he has at best a derivative, rather than foundational, apostolic authority.
