Verse. 16. Immediatly I communicated not vvith flesh and bloud.
In that he maketh mention here of flesh and blood, he speaketh not of the Apostles. For by and by he addeth: Neither came I again to Jerusalem, to them which were Apostles before me. But this is Pauls meaning, that after he had once received the revelation of the gospel from Christ, he consulted not with any man in Damascus, much less did he desire any man to teach him the gospel: Again, that he went not to Jerusalem, to Peter and the other Apostles to learn the gospel of them, but that forthwith he preached Jesus Christ in Damascus, where he received baptism of Ananias, and imposition of hands: for it was necessary for him to have the outward sign and testimony of his calling. The same also writeth Luke. Act. 9.
