At distinct and different times, _five_ interviews we shall see him have, with the Apostles--one or more of them: the first interview being,--according to his own account, as given in this very Epistle,--at little if anything more, than three years' distance from the time of his quitting the occupation of persecution. Then, says he, it was, Gal. i. 17 and 18, that "I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days." In all these days, is it possible, that, if the conversion miracle had really taken place as stated in the Acts, with the companions on the road and Ananias for witnesses,--he should not have related to Peter, and, if not spontaneously, at any rate in answer to such questions as a man in Peter's situation could not fail to put, have brought to view, every the minutest circumstance? This then was the time--or at least _one_ time--of his trial, on the question, _revelation or no revelation_. Here then, when, with such vehemence, declaring--not his independence merely, but his superiority, in relation to the Apostles--and _that_ on no other ground than this alleged revelation, was it, had the judgment in that trial been in his favour--was it possible, that he should have omitted to avail himself of it? Yet no such attempt, we see, does he make:--no attempt, to avail himself of the issue of the trial, or of anything that passed on the occasion of it. Altogether does he keep clear of any allusion to it: and indeed, if his historian--the author of the Acts--is to be believed,--with very good reason: for, whatever it was that, on that occasion, he said, in the Acts it is expressly declared that, by the disciples at least, he was utterly disbelieved. Acts ix. 26: "He assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the Apostles," &c. Why it was, that, after the disciples had thus unanimously declared him and his story unworthy of credit, the Apostles gave him notwithstanding a sort of reception;--and that, by no countenance, which they on that occasion gave him, was any ground afforded, for the supposition that any more credence was given to him and his story, by them than by the disciples at large,--will be explained in its place.
