Birth and Train- ing. ‘Tam a Jewish man, a Tarsian of Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city (Ac 21")... brought ἃ at the feet of Gamaliel in this city [Jerusalem], trained in the strict way of the law of our fathers, full from the first (ὑπάρχων) of zeal for God’ (22°); ‘Whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure con- science’ (2 Ti 15); ‘Circumcised on the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew sprung from Hebrews, in respect of the law a Pharisee, in respect of zeal a persecutor of the Church, in respect of legal righteousness showing myself blameless’ (Ph 3°*, 2 Co 11”, Ro 41 9 11 Ac 23°); ‘I made proficiency in Judaism beyon many of my contemporaries, being more extreme than they in zeal for my ancestral traditions’ (Gal 14, Ac 2055); at the same time, a ‘Roman’ and so ‘born’ (Ac 22-8, 105). Thus much we learn from St. Paul about himself. (On the genuine- ness of the speeches see art. ACTS OF APOSTLES]. Jerome (de Vir. Jllustr. 5; ad Philem. 23), who knew Palestine, has a tradition that St. Paul was born at Gischala in Galilee, ‘quo a Romanis capto cum parentibus suis Tarsum ποῖ commigravit’ ; Krenkel (Beitrage z. Aufhellung d. Geschichte u. d. Briefe d. a P. § 1) prefers this story to the statement of Paul’s Tarsian origin in the Acts, insisting that a ‘Hebrew sprung from Hebrews’ signifies one born in Palestine. The above con- dition was fulfilled, however, if St. Paul’s family retained the native traditions; and Jerome’s tale, besides its gross anachronism, is too late and iso- lated to weigh against that of St. Luke. A modi- cum of truth there may be in it: Gischala may have been the old domicile of the family (tradi- tion is tenacious on this point), which in any case had emigrated not many generations before Paul's birth, for it was still ‘Hebrew’ in home-speech and spirit. Hence Saul is sent in his boyhood for education to Jerusalem; in later years he had a ‘sister’s son’ residing there (Ac 23'*™). The Cilician Jews kept up a close connexion with the mother city, where they appear to have had a synagogue of their own (Ac 6°); they distinguished themselves by patriotic are in the siege of Jerusalem. The wealth of Paul’s father we may fairly infer from the education given him (see Ramsay, St. Paul the Traveller, etc., pp. 31, 310, 312); his occupation as a tent-maker is no dis- proof of this, for well-to-do Jews wisely taught their sons some handicraft. His mother’s piet is implied in Gal 14; comp. the sympathetic allusions of 2 Ti 1° 315,
