This is referring to the Apostle Paul.
Acts 9
[20] And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Sounds more like six DAYS!

Acts 22:3 Paul was a trained minister. He went to Yeshiva (Hebrew for sitting). He was an advanced student of the Law, and the tradition of the elders
Galatians 1:14. This already TRAINED minister set himself apart to ponder his revelation of Christ
Galatians 1:16. His alone time was in Arabia, he didn't go to the apostles, he stayed alone,
Galatians 1:17. THEN, AFTER 3 YEARS!!!!!! he went to acquaint himself with Peter
Galatians 1:18. He later saw no other apostle but the Lord's brother, James lead elder in Jerusalem. He later went to Syria, and Cecilia and needed to acquaint himself with the church families in Judea
Galatians 1:21.
Galatians 1:22.
We need to take the Bible as a whole, not a fragmented mess.
These men were all trained in Rabbinical schools. Paul happens to have more training then all of the apostles
2 Peter 3:16.
1 Timothy 5:22 is talking about not commissioning just anyone to minister.
Also ministers were to be married and have a family. So everyone could gauge how he would manage his ministry
1 Timothy 3:5
8 months a year? Seems way longer to me
