Bible in Basic English

To give the revelation of his Son in me, so that I might give the news of him to the Gentiles; then I did not take the opinion of flesh and blood,

And I went not up to Jerusalem to those who were Apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and again I came back to Damascus.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and was there with him fifteen days.

But of the other Apostles I saw only James, the Lord's brother.

Now God is witness that the things which I am writing to you are true.

Then I came to the parts of Syria and Cilicia.

And the churches of Judaea which were in Christ still had no knowledge of my face or person:

Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;

And they gave glory to God in me.
