Apart from Jesus himself, the most prominent person we know about in the spreading of the message of Jesus was Paul. (He was originally introduced as the Jew, “Saul of Tarsus”).

Am    are    is    will    my    has   - significant words in the account of Jesus. What did Jesus disclose about himself? How much does it matter?
