1. Galates 1:18 (NEG79)
  2. Explication du texte

Why does Paul say he went "up" to Jerusalem?

Galatians (Galates) 1:18 (ESV)

18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days.

Since Jerusalem is located on a hill in the mountains, one has to go up to it (in terms of geography) when travelling from any part of the surrounding area.1
