Galatians 1:16

And Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.

But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel;

through whom we received grace and apostleship for the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for the sake of His name,

Paul, an apostle—not sent from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—

For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised

and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
