Gal 1:11-17

Galatians 1:11-17

American Standard Version (ASV)
11 For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.
12 For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havoc of it:
14 and I advanced in the Jews' religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, even from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace,
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 neither went I up to Jerusalem to them that were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus.

these are my thoughts please share yours
11 The true gospel came by the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ.
12 Jesus spoke to Paul on the road to Damascus.
13-14 Paul one of the Pharisses and saw Jesus' movement as a threat to the way they told people they should have had lived so they killed those thaught Christ and Paul was one who led them to their death and Paul even went to get them so they could be killed. Paul may not have killed them himself but their blood was on his hands.
15 Paul was called to Christ like the orginal 12 disciples who were all called.
16 Paul realized he was called to preach to the nonJews.
17 Paul went out to study scripture and fast before he went on his first trip. Paul would not be accepted right away by the apostles.
