In Galatians 1:11-12 Paul asserted that the gospel he preached was neither of human origin nor was it something that he received through men; rather, he received it directly from Christ Himself. In Galatians 1:13ff. Paul proceeds to give supporting reasons for this claim, starting with the observation that, prior to his encounter with Christ, i.e. the time when God called him by his grace, he was a zealous adherent of the traditions handed down to him as a Jew and a persecutor of Christ's church.
