What does the Bible say about the apostleship of Paul?

Answered in 6 sources

The Bible affirms Paul's apostleship through his direct revelation from Jesus Christ and his transformative experience on the road to Damascus.

The Bible clearly establishes Paul's authority as an apostle in Galatians 1:11-12, where he states, 'For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.' This underscores that Paul's message came directly from Christ, separating him from those who preached according to human tradition. Additionally, his apostolic authority is validated by his dramatic conversion in Acts 9, where he encountered the risen Christ, confirming he is indeed an authoritative figure in the early church and author of much of the New Testament.
