Did Paul consult the other apostles after Jesus was revealed in him?
No, Paul did not immediately consult the other apostles after Jesus was revealed in him. He conferred not with flesh and blood, nor went up to Jerusalem to the apostles before him; he went into Arabia, returned to Damascus, and after three years went to Jerusalem to see Peter.
Les explains that Paul received his knowledge by the revelation of Jesus Christ, not from man. Quoting Galatians 1:16, Les notes that when God revealed His Son in Paul so he might preach Him among the Gentiles, Paul immediately did not confer with flesh and blood, nor did he go up to Jerusalem to the apostles before him. Instead, Paul went into Arabia, returned to Damascus, and after three years went to Jerusalem to see Peter. Les says this is the background for Paul's knowledge of revelation and the mystery, which he later wrote about in Ephesians 3, explaining that by revelation God made known the mystery to him.
To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
