What happened here
1Into Arabia and back to Damascus
In his letter to the Galatians, Paul writes that when God revealed his Son in him, he did not immediately consult anyone or go up to Jerusalem to the apostles, but went away into Arabia and then returned to Damascus.
Paul does not say where in Arabia he went or how long he stayed. This is his own account; Acts 9 does not mention Arabia.
