Galatians 1 — Context

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.

But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.

Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I'm not lying.

Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,

but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."

And they glorified God in me.
