"Saul, Saul" (by Jesus). Jesus asked for Paul to follow Him.
It was typical for the Jews of that time to have two names: one Hebrew, the other Latin or Greek. Jesus called him "Saul, Saul" in "the Hebrew tongue" in the Acts of the Apostles, when he had the vision which led to his conversion on the road to Damascus.
What is the full meaning of Paul?
It derives from the Roman family name Paulus or Paullus, from the Latin adjective meaning "small" or "humble". He was short in stature, but he was tall in scripture. He had the education of a Pharisee; also educated as a Roman citizen.
"To whom much is forgiven, much is required". We see this in Paul's Ministry. Jesus asked for him.
Acts 9:4
"And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?"
