An Early Description of Paul Galatians 1:1 Excerpt The word “Paul” in Greek literally means “small,” or “little.” 2 The earliest physical description we have of Paul comes from  The Acts of Paul and Thecla ,  a second-century apocryphal writing that describes the apostle as “a man of small stature, with a bald head and crooked legs, in a good state of body, with eyebrows meeting and nose somewhat hooked, full of friendliness; for now he appeared like a man, and now he had the face of an angel.” 3 Although written many years after his death, these words may well reflect an authentic tradition about Paul’s actual likeness.  More George, Timothy.  Galatians .
