I think that it is a wise decision to take note of Paul’s three years that he spent learning what his role should be to the gentiles and learning more about what he was going to teach them rather than rushing into it too quickly. In Proverbs 8:17 we read, “I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.” Jesus said in Matthew 5:6, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Jesus later told His disciples that what He told them in darkness, they would be able to speak in the light. lasted two or three years. b) Summer and early fall 52 (or earlier):

I don’t disagree that Paul took those three years to figure out what he was doing with this new calling and to take time away from the advice of the apostles so that his words were straight from God’s mouth and not of mans, but I also think it goes deeper (or shallower?) Like Dunn, I think that Paul is simply following through on the commission he was given, to take the message of Jesus the Messiah to the Gentiles. from the summer of 51 and for a period of

Paul is invited by Barnabas to join him in Antioch (Ac11:25-26a). Not only did he have to undergo immersion but he had to gain the individuals trust.
