Galatia 1:18

1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem ¹  to visit Cephas ²  and get information from him, ³  and I stayed with him fifteen days.

[1:18]  ² sn Cephas. This individual is generally identified with the Apostle Peter (L&N 93.211).

[1:18]  ³ tn Although often translated “to get acquainted with Cephas,” this could give the impression of merely a social call. L&N 34.52 has “to visit, with the purpose of obtaining information” for the meaning of ἱστορέω (Jistorew), particularly in this verse.
