Best Answer
A:In his Epistle to the Galatians, Paul said that after his conversion, he travelled to Arabia, and then to Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem). The capital of what was then known as Arabia was the city of Petria, so this would have been the first city he went to after his conversion. The Romans had given Aretas, king of Petria, rule over Damascus, so the two visits might well have been related. For example, Paul might have sought permission to preach his faith to the pagan gentiles in Damascus.

Who was the first disciple to meet with Paul after his conversion?

Paul says that after his conversion, he spoke to no man, but went straight to Arabia, then returned to Damascus, bypassing Jerusalem. After spending time in Damascus, he went to Jerusalem and met Peter, then James and John.Paul's own account in the epistles makes no mention of a dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, as described in Acts of the Apostles more than half a century later. Instead he says that he received the gospel from no man, but by direct revelation from God.However, Acts of the Apostles tells an entirely different story, saying that Paul, being blinded, was led to Damascus where he met Ananias, who restored his vision and began to teach him the gospel.

Who is Barnabas that is often referred to with Paul?

Barnabus was a Levite who sold land and donated to the the apostles for use in the new churches. He introduced Paul to the apostles in Jerusalem and assured them of Paul's genuine conversion (bearing in mind there would have been considerable skepticism given his former role in the persecution of Christians). Barnabus was described as being a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. He went to Antioch and on the First Missionary Journey with Paul. He was to have gone on the Second Missionary Journey, but instead went with Mark to Cyprus on account of a disagreement with Paul over the inclusion of Mark on the Paul's journey.

When did Paul decide to travel as a missionary?

AnswerIn his Epistle to the Galatians, Paul seems quite clear about his main travels for his first twenty years as a missionary. He said that after his conversion, he travelled first to Arabia, then Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem), Jerusalem, then Syria and Cilicia, and back to Jerusalem. Paul spent 3 years in Damascus, but escaped the city when the governor under Aretas, king of the Nabateans from 9 BCE to 40 CE, had a garrison deployed to arrest him because of his Christian activities. This information gives us a first-cut estimate for the start of Paul's missionary work There is no reason at this stage to assume that the escape should have occurred near the end of the king's reign, a somewhat improbable coincidence, but if it did then Paul's conversion was around the year 36.On the other hand, Acts of the Apostles says that Paul went first to Damascus and Jerusalem. After some short trips in Palestine, he began his "first missionary journey" to Antioch, Seleucia, Cyprus, South Galatia and back to Antioch and Jerusalem. After a series of three long missionary journeys, Acts has Paul charged and brought before Herod Agrippa, who died in 44 CE. If this is correct and if Paul had already been an apostle for over twenty years, then his conversion and decision to become a missionary would have needed to occur sometime in the early 20s of the first century, too early for the traditional history of Christianity.
