Paul's Honor Roll of Names

Terminology: In order to emphasize the Jewish nature of the apostolic canon and its central figure I use the terms Tanakh (Old Testament), Besekh (New Testament), Torah (Law), Yeshua (Jesus), and Messiah (Christ).

Below is the list of names associated with the ministry of the apostle Paul. All were actively engaged in Kingdom work. Many were personal co-workers with Paul and in some cases served as host to him. Almost all eventually were given significant leadership responsibility in the Body of Messiah. 

Section I: The 50 names listed below from Hippolytus (170-236) in his On the Seventy Apostles were sent out by Yeshua in Luke 10:1 and later associated with Paul.
