What Happened To Paul's Wife ?
 
Since the Great Apostle Paul had been on The Sanhedrin Council ,He was married at one time? If my understanding is correct one had to be married to be on the Sanhedrin council.
So what happended to Paul's wife ?

Maybe she was the thorn in the flesh or messenger of satan he talked about in 2 Cor 12:7.

I have never seen anything in his writings where he claimed to be on the Sanhedrin. It seems to be a tradition of men.

In Acts 26:10 when Paul is speaking of his persecution of the saints he says, "I cast my vote against them" (NKJV) I've read or heard somewhere that he literally said, "I cast my pebble against them" referring to the custom of using a white or black stone (black would mean guilty or "death") to record a vote. This may be a reference to his action while on the Sanhedrin. I don't know if there is any other reference, either in or out of Scripture, that would indicate Paul was part of the Sanhedrin. Also, do we know for sure that members of the Sanhedrin had to be married? There is a chance that Paul was widowed or divorced. Divorce was very common in that day. He could be one of those who was not under bondage because an unbelieving spouse had left him and he did not exercise his option to remarry but opted to remain celibate for the kingdom (a eunuch for the kingdom's sake).

In my study of the Sanhedrin I could not find where they had to be married. Might be but I never could find it? I doubt if he was ever married.
Paul said I would that you was as I????? That your wife would die??????:drseuss

There is always the possiblity that Saul of Tarsus' wife became a believer

and was one of those whose death Saul consented to. One thing for sure,

Paul sure seemed to know a lot about women.

Just some thoughts,
