somewhat obscure and farre remote from Jerusalem or because all commerce and passage of Letters was stopped by reason of the persecution then reigning about Jerusalem I went up 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. e. I returned which hee therefore sayth because Jerusalem was the place of his habitation or ordinary residence from whence he set forth with authority to persecute the Saints at Damascus and now after three yeares he returned from thence to Jerusalem q. d. When I had already executed my Apostleship for the space of three yeares in Preaching the Gospel for the most part of that time in Arabia and for some dayes at Damascus and had thereby given sufficient proofe both of my Apostleship and of my knowledge in the mystery of Christ then after those three years were expired because I was persecuout of Damascus I returned to Jerusalem Wherby he necessarily concludes that he returned not to Jerusalem for any instruction to preach the Gospel because for the space of three yeares he had already Preached it To see Peter The Greek is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. e. to visit Peter the word is no where else used in all the New Testament and properly signifies that kind of seeing which by the Opticks is tearmed ●●●ustus i. e. insight which is a diligent and ferious observance of a thing eying the whole and every part and marking all that is to be seene thereby to get an exact and perfect knowledge thereof as if we meant to write a history of it The practise of this insight made upon Cities and Countries is called Surveying but done upon persons out of civill respect is tearmed visiting Yet the visit heere given by Paul unto Peter was not a visitation by way of authority but a Salutation by way of observance or brotherly kindnesse to know and bee knowne unto that Apostle who was of singular authority and eminency not only in Jerusalem but in all that part of the Church which lay within the Jewish pale and of extraordinary fame throughout the whole Church For what could bee more comfortable to all the Disciples of Christ and more sutable in it selfe then that two such great Apostles of Christ who were the two principall Doctors and as it were the two pillars of the Church should joyne their eyes and hands in the mutuall knowledge and acquaintance one of another The cause therefore of Pauls departure from Damascus was his persecution from thence by the Governour and the Jewes who insidiated his life and the cause of his accesse unto Jerusalem at that time was only to give Peter a visit and to bee known unto so great an Apostle q. d. The end of my then going to Jerusalem and personally to Peter was not for Instruction to learne any thing of him but for acquaintance to visit him and to be known unto him And abode with him fifteene dayes The space of time how long for that time he abode at Jerusalem was only a for might which saying heere although in the letter it be History yet in the purpose of the Apostle it is a Reason to prove the truth of his former words that his comming to Jerusalem to see Peter was only to see and visit him because hee abode with him but fifteene dayes and further he thereby also concludes his principall point that the Gospel which he preached was not humane but divine q. d. The space of a for●ight was a time too narrow for m●… learne divine mysteries by the meanes of humane instruction and therefore my knowledge in the Gospel whereby I became a Teacher of the Gentiles could not be acquisitive to bee gayned by study or by the help of man no not of Peter himselfe the most eminent person in the Church of Christ but must needs be infusive to be operated in me only by the pleasure of God and to be wrought in my soul by revelation What the Apostle did besides at Jerusalem during those fifteen dayes namely how hee exercised his Ministery privatly yet boldly in disputing against the Grecians or Proselites of Jerusalem till they went about to kill him is related by Luke Act. 9.28.29 But why the Apostle abode at Jerusalem no longer then fifteen dayes and why he preached not there publikely to the Jewes during that time himselfe gives the reason elsewhere namely because the Jewes of Jerusalem would not receive his testimony concerning Christ as Christ in a vision had revealed it unto him in the Temple at Jerusalem where during his abode of fifteene dayes hee was praying and in a trance for because of this malignity in the Jewes of Jerusalem he neyther preached nor stayed there but was commanded to make haste and get him quickly out of Jerusalem Act. 22.17.18 VERSE 19. Text. But other of the Apostles saw I none save James the Lords brother Sense The Lords brother i. e. Cosin-germane Reason An answer to a tacite objection that might bee made against his former words concerning Peter q. d. If any man shall heereupon object against me that although at that time I received no instruction from Peter yet I might have it from some other of the Apostles To this I must further professe for a truth that during my abode at Jerusalem those fifteene dayes I saw no other of the Apostles save James the lesse our Lords kinseman and cosin-germane and him I saw no otherwayes then by way of visit as I did Peter James the Brother of Christ This James is called the Lords brother by an Hebruisme because he was his cosin-germane being the son of Alpheus alias Cleopas by his wife Mary who was sister to Mary our Lords mother See and compare Mat. 10.3 and Mat. 13.55 and Marc. 3.18 and Marc. 15.40 and Luke 6.15 and John 19.25 and Act. 1.13 And this title of being our Lords brother was given him for distinction to notifie him from James the son of Zebedee and brother of John At that time of Pauls being at Jerusalem he saw no other of the Apostles but Peter and James but at another time many yeares afterward being at Jerusalem with Barnabas and Titus he mentions John also as it will appeare in the next Chapter verse 9.
