Galatians 1:17

Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them who were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
All Commentaries on Galatians 1:17 Go To Galatians 1

John Chrysostom

AD 407
And let me point out to you his humility. For, having said “I went up to Arabia,” he has added “and I returned to Damascus.” He does not recount his conversions or what people and how many he instructed, even though he showed such zeal after his baptism that the Jews were enraged against him, and their animosity became so intense that they laid an ambush for him and wanted to kill him, along with the Greeks. … But he says nothing of these things here, nor would he have spoken of them in that place had he not seen that the occasion demanded that he recount his own history.
