Galatians Study Notes—Chapter 1New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

-
a revelation: Paul uses the Greek word a·po·kaʹly·psis, which literally means “an uncovering” or “a disclosure.” As used in the Christian Greek Scriptures, the word often refers to the revealing of spiritual matters to humans by God and Jesus. In this verse, Paul shows that the good news he preached was revealed to him, not by a human, but by Jesus Christ himself. This fact further established that Paul was a true apostle. Like the other apostles, Paul learned the good news and received his commission directly from Jesus. (1Co 9:1; Eph 3:3) Later in this letter, Paul refers to a specific revelation from Christ directing him to take the circumcision issue to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem.—See study note on Ga 2:2.
