There may have been even more-- 2 Corinthians 11:23], who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me. [Meaning that these were converted to Christ before he was--early enough to be well known to the apostles and to be honored by them before that body was scattered by persecution, it being slow to depart from Jerusalem-- Acts 8:1; Acts 12:1-3]
