This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the name Σαῦλος, its origins, and its significance in the context of the New Testament narrative.

Usage: The name Σαῦλος is used in the New Testament to refer to Saul of Tarsus, who later became known as the Apostle Paul after his conversion to Christianity.

Context: Σαῦλος, or Saul, is a significant figure in the New Testament, primarily known for his transformation from a persecutor of Christians to a devoted apostle of Jesus Christ. Saul was born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, and was a Roman citizen by birth. He was a Pharisee, educated under Gamaliel, a respected teacher of the Law (Acts 22:3). Saul is first introduced in the Book of Acts as a zealous persecutor of the early Christian church, consenting to the stoning of Stephen, the first Christian martyr (Acts 7:58-8:1).

Saul's life took a dramatic turn on the road to Damascus, where he encountered the risen Christ in a vision. This event led to his conversion and subsequent baptism by Ananias (Acts 9:1-18). After his conversion, Saul began to preach the gospel, initially facing skepticism from the disciples due to his past actions (Acts 9:26-27). Over time, he became known as Paul, a name he used in his missionary journeys and epistles.

Saul's transformation is a powerful testament to the grace and calling of God, illustrating the theme of redemption and the power of the gospel to change lives. His writings and missionary work significantly contributed to the spread of Christianity and the theological foundation of the New Testament.
