Paul was born in Tarsus, a city in the southeastern corner of Asia Minor. Around AD 33, he converted to Christianism after an appearance of Jesus on his way from Jerusalem to Damascus. Paul undertook three major missionary journeys, in which he spread the teachings of Jesus Christ throughout the Middle East and Greece. On his return to Jerusalem, he was accused of bringing a "Gentile" into the temple.
