Saul is the Hebrew name of the first king of Israel. He was chosen because his looks were desirable to the people. This Saul (of the book of Ephesians) was not desirable, having a reputation for persecuting Christians. [2] 'Saul' also means 'obtained you שא to be separated ו for teaching ל', and was dramatically chosen to preach. [3] Saul was well trained in the Jewish scriptures. He is an example of the scribe in the parable who knows the old and is taught the new. [4] [5] When he calls himself Paul, he is hinting at his claim to be the least of the apostles [6]; it is a humility, having persecuted the church. |
