In Galations 1: 16 Paul says that when God revealled his Son to him he

"did not consult any man, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately to Arabia and later returned to Damascus"

Obviously Paul is trying to emphasize that he recieved the gospel directly from Jesus and did not learn it from any apostles.

Acts however, contradicts this account:

In Acts Chapter 9 Saul is blinded and lead to the house of a disciple in Damascus where he is instructed by Ananias about what he had experienced, he proceeds from there to Jerusalem.

I don’t believe there is a contradiction.

Galatians 1
13 For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many Jews of my own age and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace, was pleased
16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man,
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.

I believe all Paul was saying was that he didn’t consult any man about undertaking his apostolic ministry, before actually going ahead with it.
