Matthew Poole and continuators on Galatians 1:12

12 For I neither received it of man , neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ .

Not of man, as my first and sole Instructor, not only at second hand, from Peter, James or John, as the false teachers had suggested, nor was I taught it otherwise then

by the immediate Revelation of Jesus Christ. Revelation signifieth the discovery of some thing which is secret; (as the Gospel and Doctrine of it, is called a mystery bid from ages) It may be objected that Paul was instructed by Ananias, Acts 9.16, 17. But this prejudiceth nothing the truth of what the Apostle saith in this place, neither do we read of much that Ananias said to him in a way of instruction; it is only said, that he laid his hands on him, and he was filled with the Holy Ghost. When, or where he had these revelations, the Apostle saith not, probably while he lay in a trance, blind, and neither eating nor drinking for three dayes, Acts 9.9. Others think it was when he was caught up into the third Heaven, 2 Cor. 12.2. Certain it is that St. Paul had revelations from Christ, Acts 22.15, 16. and 26.17, 18▪ Revelation signifies an immediate conveying of the knowledge of divine things, to a person without humane means; and in that Paul ascribes the Revelation of the Gospel to Jesus Christ, he plainly asserts the Divine Nature of the Lord Jesus Christ.
