The story of Saint Paul is also a case of courage. Paul, He said: "Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel" (I Cor 9, 16). Saint Paul was a persecutor of Christians. He was, but he changed when Jesus appeared to him.

And his disciples came and took the body and buried it; and they went and told Jesus.
