Galatians 1:19

James

17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.

18 Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.

But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.

20 I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.

21 Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
