Galatians 1:12

Verse 12. For I neither received it of man. This is very probably said in reply to his opponents, who had maintained that Paul had derived his knowledge of the gospel from other men, as he had not been personally known to the Lord Jesus, or been of the number of those whom he called to be his apostles. In reply to this, he says, that he did not receive his gospel in any way from man. Neither was I taught it. That is, by man. He was not taught it by any written account of it, or by the instruction of man in any way.
