Galatians 1:21

19But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.

20Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.

21Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

22I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,

23but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
