Galatians 1:11-24

2. Paul’s gospel borrowed from no apostle, Galatians 1:11-24.

Paul now, to prove that his gospel was not derived from man, gives a narrative showing that he did not obtain it from the only men supposable the apostles; nor from the Jerusalem centre. He was first wrapped in the intensest Judaism, Galatians 1:13-14; upon his conversion he visited not Jerusalem he saw no apostle for three years, Galatians 1:16-17; he then visited Peter at Jerusalem, and saw James alone besides, Galatians 1:18-20; thence departing to Syria he had no acquaintance at all with the Judean Churches, Galatians 1:21-24. His gospel, then, not being received from the apostles, if it coincided with the apostolic gospel was all the more certainly true.
