====[[Paul the Apostle]], d. ~67 A.D.==== | ====[[Paul the Apostle]], d. ~67 A.D.==== | ||
Paul the Apostle was, together with Peter, the most notable of early Christian missionaries. Unlike the other Apostles, Paul did not know Jesus during his ministry. Paul came to believe through a vision of Jesus on the Road to Damascus, while on his way to persecute Christians in that city, and stressed that his apostolic authority was based on this vision. Paul wrote that he was not taught the Gospel by anyone, but received it "by the revelation of Jesus Christ". | Paul the Apostle was, together with Peter, the most notable of early Christian missionaries.
