Paul the Apostle

St. Paul the Apostle ( Šaʾul HaTarsi, meaning "Saul of Tarsus"), the "Apostle to the Gentiles" was, together with Saint Peter, the most notable of Early Christian missionaries. In the New Testament account, Paul did not know Jesus in life. Unlike the Twelve Apostles, he came to faith through a vision of the risen Jesus and stressed that his apostolic authority was based on his vision. As he wrote, he "received it [the Gospel] by revelation from Jesus Christ"; according to Acts, his conversion took place as he was traveling the road to Damascus.
