17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
18Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
19But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
20I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
21Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
