Galatians 1:12

Jesus

10 Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

11 For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.

I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.

13 For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.

14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
