12:2 I know someone in Christ who, fourteen years ago (whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows) was caught up to the third heaven.
There are three heavens?
The NAB note says the Jewish intertestamental books speak of multiple heavens, usually settling on seven.
But among them Levi (2:7-10 and 3:1-4) speaks of 3 heavens, God himself living in the 3rd.
The NRSV note says the "someone" is "surely Paul himself."
Levi is not printed with the in the NAB or the NRSV.
