That is true Paul was saved after Jesus was glorified ion the day of Pentecoste. However Jesus appear to Paul as a Glorified being .. that is why Paul was struck blind. However one of the qualifications of being an apostle was that you had to have at least SEEN the Lord ! Paul when defending his apostleship against those who were trying to discredit him made mention of it. Look: 1 Cor 9:1 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord? 2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord. 3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this, 4 Have we not power to eat and to drink? 5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? Some apostles had wives. Peter , though he left his wife to follow Christ, was a married man. Paul in Corinthians 7 teaches that those who are married are handicap a little in serving Christ. Paul for went the priviledge of being married and used that in this argument that He could have had a wife yet he dedicated himself totally to the LORD ! I often wonder who looked after Peter's wife for the three years he followed the Lord ??? Perhaps his family was less than poor for him to have taken that much time off from fishing ? Matthew 8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. Jesus healed Peter's mother in law ! Did you know Jesus had brothers and sisters ? Mark 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. At least two sisters cause it is plural but women are not often mentioned in families in the Bible as they would grow up to be a part of someone elses family.
