Paul's Divine Call and Conversion

Galatians 1:11-24

1
Chapter 1
11 For I make known to you, brothers, that the gospel I proclaimed is not according to man. 12 For I neither received it from any human nor was taught it, but through a revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For you heard of my manner of life in Judaism, that I persecuted the church of God excessively and ravaged it, 14 and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries of my own nation, being more zealous for the traditions of my fathers. 15 but when he who set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his grace was pleased 16 to reveal his Son in me, so that I might proclaim him among the Gentiles. I did not immediately consult flesh and blood, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia and returned again to Damascus. 18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James the brother of the Lord. 20 Now what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie. 21 Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 but I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea that are in Christ, 23 but they were only hearing that the one who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once destroyed 24 And they were glorifying God because of me.
