- Short Description
- "Paul[a] (born Saul of Tarsus;[b] c. 5 – c. 64/65 AD), commonly known as Paul the Apostle and Saint Paul, was a Christian apostle (although not one of the original Twelve Apostles) who spread the teachings of Jesus in the first-century world. Generally regarded as one of the most important figures of the Apostolic Age, he founded several Christian communities in Asia Minor and Europe from the mid-40s to the mid-50s AD.
According to the New Testament book Acts of the Apostles, Paul was a Pharisee; he participated in the persecution of early disciples of Jesus, possibly Hellenised diaspora Jews converted to Christianity, in the area of Jerusalem, prior to his conversion.[note 1] In the narrative of Acts, some time after having approved of the execution of Stephen, Paul was traveling on the road from Jerusalem to Damascus. On a mission that "he might bring [them] bound to Jerusalem" (ESV), a bright light suddenly shone around him, with the risen Christ verbally addressing his persecution. Having been made blind, along with being commanded to enter the city, his sight was restored three days later by Ananias of Damascus. After these events, Paul was baptized, beginning immediately to proclaim that Jesus of Nazareth was the Jewish messiah and the Son of God. Approximately half of the Acts of the Apostles deals with Paul's life and works." - (en.wikipedia.org 10.04.2022) - Entity Encoding
