1 | Why Saul to Paul? | Acts 13:9 | Morant61 | 4688 | ||
Greetings, One commentary I consulted (The Bible Knowledge Commentary) suggested that Paul is used from this point on because it is at this point that Paul steps into a leadership position in the mission to the Gentiles. Paul was Saul's Roman name. Paul himself only uses Saul when he refers back to his prior life (Acts 22:7, 26:14). Other than that, I haven't heard of any significant reason for the change in names.

2 | Why Saul to Paul? | Acts 13:9 | prayon | 4763 | ||
Hank, In bible times much emphasis was placed on the meaning of names, such as Abram to Abraham in Gen17:5. The name Saul means destroyer. Paul, however, means worker. Paul did go from being a destroyer to being a worker. prayon | ||||||
