This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
18–24. A short visit to Jerusalem and then a long absence. Yet the churches of Judaea, though they knew me not by sight, recognized me and my work
(Gal 1:18) Then three years from my conversion I did go up to Jerusalem to gratify my curiosity to see Cephas, and I stayed with him only a fortnight. (Gal 1:19) But I saw no other of the Apostles, with the exception of one who is not quite in the same class, James the brother of the Lord. (Gal 1:20) God is my witness to the truth of my statements. (Gal 1:21) Then I went far away into the country districts of Syria and of Cilicia. (Gal 1:22) But I was entirely unknown by sight to the Christian churches of Judaea. (Gal 1:23) Only they were hearing: Our former persecutor is now preaching the glad tidings of the faith of which once he used to make havoc. (Gal 1:24) And they found occasion in me to glorify God.
