11 Now I certify to you, brethren, that the message of glad tidings which I proclaimed is not according to man;
12 for I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it; but by revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For you have heard of my behaviour formerly in the Jewish religion; that I, in the most violent manner, persecuted the congregation of God, and ravaged it;
14 and that I made a greater proficiency in Judaism than many fellow students of my age, in my own nation, being more abundantly a zealot for the doctrines of my fathers:
15 but when it pleased God, who had set me apart from my birth, and by his special favour called me,
16 to reveal his son to me, that I might proclaim the good tidings of him among the nations immediately; I did not consult flesh and blood,
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to them who were apostles before me, but went away to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
