As though he would say: I did not so confer with the Apostles, that they taught me any thing. For what should they teach me, since Christ by his revelation had before sufficiently taught me all things? & moreover ⟨p. 48⟩since I have now preached the Gospel the space of eighteen years among the Gentiles, & Christ hath wrought so many miracles by me, whereby he hath confirmed my doctrine? Wherefore it was but a conference and no disputation. Wherein I learned nothing,1 neither did I recant, nor yet defend my cause, but only declared what things I had done: to wit, that I had preached to the Gentiles faith only in Christ with out the law, and that by this preaching of faith the holy Ghost came down upon the Gentiles, which immediately spake with divers tongues. Which thing when the Apostles heard, they witnessed that I had taught the truth. Wherefore the false Apostles do me great wrong which pervert and turn all these things clean contrary.
