ISB ~ Galatians 1 v16

to reveal his Son:In a vision on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3-9; 1 Cor 9:1). It was then that Christ commissioned Paul to announce the gospel to the Gentiles and the sons of Israel (Acts 9:15-16).

I did not confer:The RSV leaves the adverb “immediately” (Gk. eutheos) untranslated. Paul does not deny that he consulted the original apostles about his gospel (2:2, 6-10); he simply underscores that his certainty about its truth exempted him from the need to do so immediately after his conversion.

flesh and blood:A Semitic idiom meaning “human beings” (Sir 14:18; Mt 16:17).
