Did St Paul Ever Meet Any of the Disciples?

He was a disciple

and according to the Bible

he met several disciples before he began preaching.

According to the Bible

- two of Jesus' hand-picked apostles evaluated and approved of Paul's teachings

- Paul was with the apostle Peter on more than one occasion

- Paul spoke before "the twelve" at "the council of Jerusalem" (Acts 15)

- Paul himself, later on, became an apostle

- Paul repeatedly visited churches that he had founded in Asia Minor to collect donations which he brought to (then) church headquarters in Jerusalem

- indeed: Paul was in Jerusalem, probably for that very reason, when he was arrested

>> did he ever get to read detailed accounts of what Jesus actually did and said, or were there no gospels back then <<

We don't know.

None of Paul's letters mention any Gospel (by which I mean: a book about the works and teachings of Jesus).

However: clearly (from Paul's letters) Paul was familiar with at least the basics of Jesus' teachings (which he called "the gospel of Jesus Christ), crucifixion and resurrection, including the Last Supper and (correspondingly) the Lord's Supper.

Saint Paul participated in important meetings with the other Apostles. His teachings were evaluated, accepted and approved by the other Apostles, but not without a bit of drama.

Paul met the apostle Peter, Galatians 2:11.

He met some of the disciples, they had disagreements, Paul went off on his own and told his congregations not to listen to Jesus' disciples.

A casual reading of the New Testament confirms that he did.

Yes, he first met the disciple Ananias who introduced him to the disciples in Damascus (Acts 9:15-19). Verse 26 speaks of him fleeing from Damascus and going to Jerusalem where "he tried to join the disciples,but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. Ge told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus. So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem..." and so the account continues.

UNSURE...ASK A TRINITY PREACHER.

We have no historical evidence either way.  

There is no evidence that Paul ever existed. Also, none of the supposed biblical characters who wrote about jesus ever claimed to have seen him in person or met him.  Amazing, isn’t it?

Christ Jesus revealed himself to Paul in a flashing light and commissioned him to be an attendant and a witness of the things he had seen and would yet see.

The Apostle Paul played a major role in the spreading of the Good News and also in the smooth running of various congregations. 

The Apostle Paul was very much aware of what Jesus had done as there were scrolls of the holy writings.

Paul also wrote a few of the books we find today in the Bible.

He was used intensely by Jesus and Jehovah in the kingdom work.

No, he saw and argued with Peter (Kepha) and James (Yaqub) when he met them after 3 years. He doesn't mention anything written in the Gospels. Hint......
