Biblical answer: Yes, although he was not a believer while Jesus was on Earth. He actually was highly opposed and persecuted Christians for a few years. Then the resurrected Jesus appeared to him, blinded him (he was later cured), and called him to be an apostle. This was only a few years after Jesus' death, but we don't know how old Paul was at the time. We do know that he was a highly educated Jew that was given authority by the Jewish religious leaders of the time to seek out Christians and try to stop their preaching. So he would have been an adult, and would have been alive during Jesus' life. The account of Paul's conversion is in Acts chapter 9.

What role did Jesus and Paul play in the early history of Christianity?
Apart from their obvious roles as Messiah and Apostle, scholars have long debated the apparent mismatch between the teachings of Jesus and Paul. One normal way of stating it is that Jesus preached about God but Paul preached about Jesus. Or, Jesus announced the kingdom of God and Paul announced the Messiahship of Jesus. Also, Jesus called people to a simple gospel of repentance, belief, and the practice of the Sermon on the Mount while Paul developed a complex theology of justification by faith, something Jesus never mentioned. Some say that Jesus preached a wonderful universal message and that Paul scrunched it back into the small distorting framework of his Jewish, rabbinic mind. Others say that Jesus preached a pure Jewish message and that Paul falsified it by turning it into a Greek, philosophical and even anti-Jewish construct. In defense of Paul here, he thought of it this way: Jesus was the Composer and he was the conductor or Jesus was the Architect and he was the builder. Paul was explicitly honouring Jesus by not saying and doing the same things but by pointing people back to Jesus' own unique achievement.
