or going up to Jerusalem to see those who had been apostles before me, I went off to Arabia, and on my return came back to Damascus.

Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem, to become acquainted with Cephas, and I spent two weeks with him;

After that, I went to the districts of Syria and Cilicia.

Then, fourteen years later, I went up to Jerusalem again, with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me.

It was in obedience to a revelation that I went. I laid before them the good news that I preach to the heathen, presenting it privately to the leaders, for fear my efforts might be or might have been futile.
