Saulos identifies the man named Saul across Acts, including the clause that also calls him Paul in Acts 13:9.

Across the supplied Acts verses, the forms identify the same named man in varied narrative settings: he is associated with persecution in Acts 8:3 and Acts 9:1, is sought while praying in Acts 9:11, and is listed or sent with Barnabas in Acts 13:1 and Acts 13:2; Acts 13:9 explicitly adds that he is also called Paul.

  1. Personal designation of the named man · dominant

    The forms mark the named individual through changing clause roles: the nominative form is the subject in Acts 8:3, where the APB renders that he was ravaging the assembly, while the accusative form is the person sought in Acts 9:11. In Acts 13:9, the nominative form introduces the clause the APB renders, “Then Saul, who is also called Paul,” and in Acts 9:24 the dative form marks the person to whom the plot became known.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the term as the personal name “Saul” across these verses. In Acts 13:9 it adds “who is also called Paul,”.
