Detailed explanation-1: -St. Paul the Apostle, original name Saul of Tarsus, (born 4 bce?, Tarsus in Cilicia [now in Turkey]-died c. 62–64 ce, Rome [Italy]), one of the leaders of the first generation of Christians, often considered to be the most important person after Jesus in the history of Christianity.

Detailed explanation-2: -The charismatic King Saul could not tolerate a full partner; the qualified Saul of the New Testament could not imagine needing a partner even if it was God. Both types, whichever we may be, can be helped by a very different attitude of yielding to the leadership of Jesus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Saul, Hebrew Shaʾul, (flourished 11th century bce, Israel), first king of Israel (c. 1021–1000 bce). According to the biblical account found mainly in 1 Samuel, Saul was chosen king both by the judge Samuel and by public acclamation. Saul was similar to the charismatic judges who preceded him in the role of governing.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to the Acts of the Apostles, Saul (Paul’s Jewish name; Acts 13:9) was born a Roman citizen in Tarsus in Cilicia (ancient Asia Minor, modern Turkey), a city brimming with Hellenistic culture, including a prominent school of Greek rhetoric.

Detailed explanation-5: -Jesus’ name in Hebrew was “Yeshua” which translates to English as Joshua. So how did we get the name “Jesus”?
