Galatians 1:11-18
Paul's testimony is that he is “the least of the apostles,” but he still saw the risen Lord and is a witness to the resurrection “as one born out of due time” (1 Corinthians 15:8-9). Paul asserted his apostleship by saying, “Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?” (1 Corinthians 9:1). Although Saul's companions on the Damascus road also witnessed the bright light and heard the sound of the voice, it was Saul alone who beheld Jesus (Acts 9:1-9).
