Galatians 1:15-17

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

16 to reveal his Son in me that I might preach him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood,

17 neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went into Arabia and returned again unto Damascus.
