Story of Paul
Kuvakäsikirjoitus Teksti
- One such convert was Paul, one of the most important people in Christianity. He devoted his life to spreading the teachings of Jesus.
- According to the New Testament, one day Paul was traveling to Damascus in present-day Syria. He saw a blinding light and heard the voice of Jesus, a vision that changed his life. Paul adopted the Christian faith and became a missionary.
- Paul made it his special mission to convert non-Jews, called Gentiles, to the new religion. He spent several years visiting cities throughout the Greek-speaking world. Wherever he went, he made new converts and started new churches.
- In his preaching and letters, Paul stressed the need to believe in Jesus as the Son of God. He taught that all people, Jews and Gentiles alike, were God's children. Jesus, he said, was the Christ, God's chosen one. He was a Messiah for everyone, not just his fellow Jews.
- Paul's journeys took him through much of the empire. He preached throughout Asia Minor, in Greece, and in Rome. Occasionally, his visits caused riots when angry people protested what they considered blasphemous, or unholy, teaching.
