Who was born first St. Paul or Jesus?

Jesus was born before Apostle Paul. Apostle Paul did not get to meet Jesus in person because he was either not born or too young (baby probably) Paul wrote most of his letters to Christians in the time frame between 50 A.D. and 60 A.D. and Jesus died about 20 years before.Another answerJesus the Christ is the God/Man. Being God he is from ever. He is eternal. But when the time was right God came to earth as a male child born of Mary and was named Jesus. Jesus as a human being was born about 6-4 B.C. Paul the Apostle was born possibly 6-10 A.D.
