Paul granteth that he was with the Apostles, but not with all the Apostles. Howbeit he declareth that he went up to Jerusalem to them, not commanded, but of his own accord: Moreover, not to learn any thing of them, but to see Peter. The same thing Luke also writeth in the ninth chapter of the Acts: that Barnabas led Paul to the Apostles, and declared to them, how he had seen the Lord in the way, and how he spake unto him: Also how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. This witness beareth Barnabas of him. All his words therefore are so framed to the purpose, that they prove his gospel not to be of man. In deed he granteth that he had seen Peter and James the brother of our Lord, but none other of the Apostles besides these two, and that he learned nothing of them.
Paule graunteth that he was with the Apostles, but not with all the Apostles. Howbeit he declareth that he went vp to Ierusalem to them, not commaunded, but of his owne accorde: Moreouer, not to learne any thing of them, but to see Peter. The same thing Luke also wryteth in the ninth chapter of the Actes: that Barnabas led Paule to the Apostles, and declared to them, how he had seene the Lord in the way, and how he spake vnto him: Also how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Iesus. This witnes beareth Barnabas of him. All his words therfore are so framed to the purpose, yt they proue his gospell not to be of man. In deede he graunteth that he had seene Peter and Iames the brother of our Lord, but none other of the Apostles besides these two, and that he learned nothing of them.
