The Galatians, soon after St. Paul had preached the Gospel to them, wereseduced by some false teachers, who had been Jews and who were forobliging all Christians, even those who had been Gentiles, to observecircumcision and the other ceremonies of the Mosaical law. In thisEpistle, he refutes the pernicious doctrine of those teachers and alsotheir calumny against his mission and apostleship.

1:11. For I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which waspreached by me is not according to man.
1:12. For neither did I receive it of man: nor did I learn it but by therevelation of Jesus Christ.
