2 Corinthians 12:1-6
1You''ve forced me to talk this way, and I do it against my better judgment. But now that we''re at it, I may as well bring up the matter of visions and revelations that God gave me.
2For instance, I know a man who, fourteen years ago, was seized by Christ and swept in ecstasy to the heights of heaven. I really don''t know if this took place in the body or out of it; only God knows.
3I also know that this man was hijacked into paradise--again, whether in or out of the body, I don''t know; God knows. There he heard the unspeakable spoken, but was forbidden to tell what he heard.

5This is the man I want to talk about. But about myself, I''m not saying another word apart from the humiliations.
6If I had a mind to brag a little, I could probably do it without looking ridiculous, and I''d still be speaking plain truth all the way. But I''ll spare you. I don''t want anyone imagining me as anything other than the fool you''d encounter if you saw me on the street or heard me talk.
