Galatians 1:17 — Meaning and Application

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called {me} by his grace,

To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. {went up: or, returned}

But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
