He now proceeded to Jerusalem, wishing to become acquainted with the apostles there, and especially with Peter. He was very anxious to meet the Galilean fishermen who had lived, and prayed, and conversed with Christ upon earth. It was with a yearning heart that he desired to meet the chief of apostles. As Paul entered Jerusalem, he regarded with changed views the city and the temple. He now knew that the retributive judgment of God was hanging over them.{LP 35.1}

Han begav sig nu til Jerusalem, ønskede at blive bekendt med apostlene der, og især med Peter. Han var meget ivrig efter at møde de galilæiske fiskere, som havde levet, og bedt og samtalet med Kristus på jorden. Der var med inderlig længsel at han ønskede at møde øversteapostlene. Da Paulus kom ind i Jerusalem, så han med byen og tempelet på en ny måde. Han vidste nu at Guds gengældelsesdomme hang over dem.
