Paul the Apostle (Hebrew: שאול התרסי, Shāʼūl HaTarsī; "Saul of Tarsus"; Greek: Παῦλος, Paulos), (Born::5 AD–Died::67 AD) was, along with St. Peter and St. James the Just, the most notable of Early Christian missionaries. Unlike the Twelve Apostles, Paul did not know Jesus in life but was converted by a miraculous encounter with the voice of Jesus on the Road to Damascus.
