Paul related a lot of basic facts about the Jesus's life. He was obviously well-informed:

....
• Jesus was born in human fashion, as a Jew, and had a ministry to the Jews. (Galatians 4:4)
• Jesus was referred to as "Son of God." (1 Corinthians 1:9)
• Jesus was a direct descendant of King David. (Romans 1:3)
• Jesus prayed to God using the term "Abba." (Galatians 4:6)
• Jesus expressly forbade divorce. (1 Corinthians 7:10)
• Jesus taught that "preachers" should be paid for their preaching. (1 Corinthians 9:14)
• Jesus taught about the end-time. (1 Thessalonians 4:15)
• PAUL refers to Peter by the name Cephas (rock), which was the name Jesus gave to him. (1 Corinthians 3:22)
• Jesus had a brother named James. (Galatians 1:19)
• Jesus initiated the Lord's Supper and referred to the bread and the cup. (1 Corinthians 11:23-25)
