Galatians Study Notes—Chapter 1

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 1:18
  
  Then three years later: Paul may mean that after his conversion, parts of three years elapsed; he may have arrived in Jerusalem in 36 C.E. That visit was likely the first time that Paul was in Jerusalem as a Christian.
  
  to visit: Some scholars suggest that the Greek verb rendered “to visit” may include the idea of visiting with the purpose of obtaining information. When Saul visited Peter and James, he would have many things to ask them, and they would have many questions for him regarding his vision and his commission.
  
  Cephas: One of the names of the apostle Peter.—See study note on 1Co 1:12.
