Galatians 1:18 in context

The verses around it, from Galatians 1.

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

15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased

16 to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood,

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.

19 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.

22 I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
