Bible Question: Where in the Bible does Saul-Paul receive his apostleship? in what verses |
Bible Answer: Hi Max and welcome to the forum, I think that Paul received his Apostleship when the Lord appeared to him while on the Damascus road. The Koine Greek meaning of APOSTOLOS, transliterated Apostle is actually “one who is sent”, which is what the Lord is stating to Ananias in following. Acts 9:11-16 So the Lord said to him, "Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying. [12] And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight." [13] Then Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. [14] And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on Your name." [15] But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. [16] For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name's sake." The requirement for position of Apostle was brought to light in, Acts 1:22 beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection." This was accomplished when Saul beheld Jesus. Acts 9:4-6 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?" [5] And he said, "Who are You, Lord?" Then the Lord said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads." [6] So he, trembling and astonished, said, "Lord, what do You want me to do?" Then the Lord said to him, "Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." Paul himself tells us who his teacher was with regards to the gospel. Galatians 1:11-12 But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. [12] For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. In my estimation this is when Saul/Paul became an Apostle. Enjoy the forum, CDBJ |
