Did Paul hear Jesus teach in person?

Upvote:0

To a certain extent you answer your own question. Saul (in his own testimony) claims an unassailable Jewish lineage(Eph 3:4-6). His devotion to the Jewish faith motivated him to repress what he perceived to be the ultimate heresy. The Bible records that he was present at the stoning of Stephen; this would have been sometime after the formation of the early Church. He would also have been a contemporary of the disciples themselves, therefore it is reasonable to assume that a teacher of Judaism would be careful to not respond to hearsay about Jesus's message and teachings.

He, in all probability, did hear Jesus firsthand, but as the Bible does not specifically state this, it remains a hypothetical question with the only answer being: unknown.
