What does the Bible say about the apostleship of Paul?

Answered in 1 source

Paul was appointed as an apostle directly by Jesus Christ and is considered the twelfth apostle.

Paul identifies himself as an apostle of Jesus Christ in the opening of 1 Timothy. The apostles were uniquely appointed by Christ to lay the foundation of the New Covenant Church and bring together the written Word of God. While there is debate on whether the office of apostleship continues today, it is widely thought that the role ended with Paul, as those appointed had direct revelation from Christ, which Paul received on the Damascus road.
