Saul of Tarsus was first a great persecutor and made havoc of the infant Church.  Miraculously converted, he began his three great Apostolic Voyages and wrote his Epistles.  After a captivity of two years in Caesarea, he came to Rome and travelled to that part of the Church situated beyond Italy.  He was beheaded A.D. 65.
