Saul being a Pharisee was probably married knowing that to be a Pharisee it was important to be married and believe in family, however, this is not a prov-en fact. And whether or not Paul would have had any children is unlikely noting that there is no reference to any of his children or lineage documented at all.
Paul, formerly Saul of Tarsus, is known as the 13th Apostle.
Saul of Tarsus who was renamed Paul...he was a lawyer who studied under the renowned Gamaliel.
The scriptures do not give the name of Saul's father. It does however reveal to us that as Saul was of the tribe of Benjamin, one of the only two tribes left after the other ten tribes were dispersed, ergo, Saul's father was of the same tribe. Some scholars say that Saul's father is Kish.
Paul, who was formerly called Saul. He was from Tarsus. He wrote 13 letters to different churches; those letters are called epistles.
A:The reference to 'Saul of Tarsus' belongs purely in Acts of the Apostles. Paul himself never mentions having been called Saul, nor mentions the city of Tarsus. In fact, he seems to have travelled in the region of Tarsus without bothering to preach there. This does not necessarily mean that the name Saul was a literary invention on the part of the author of Acts, but it is possible. Josephus described a member of the Herodian family named Saulus, which was not a common name at the time. Saulus played a key role in the events leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple.InAntiquities,Josephustalked of a riot in Jerusalem, led by Saulus, after the stoning of James. Directly following the stoning of James, Josephus described Saulus and Costobarus leading a band of thugs in rioting in Jerusalem, which seems to have involved stealing the tithes of the Poorer Priests on behalf of the Rich High Priests. It also appears that Saulus slipped out of Jerusalem and led the delegation to Agrippa II that wished to invite the Romans into the city to suppress the Uprising.Josephus has Saulus go to see Nero in 66 CE, in Corinth, to inform him of the situation in Palestine. This Saulus was not our Paul, but would have been well known in the late first century and regarded as thoroughly disreputable. Nevertheless, there is so much similarity between this historical account and the story in Actsof the young Saul, that it is possible that the author mistook the two characters. If we replace James in Antiquities by Stephen in Acts, the parallels are uncanny.Acts says that Saul was born in Tarsus, a Herodian and a Roman citizen. He studied in Jerusalem under the great Gamaliel and was present at the trial of Stephen. His name was changed to Paul on the first missionary journey. Once again, this missionary journey is missing from Paul's own epistles, and he gives an entirely different account of his itinerary.
