Any answer is pure speculation. You can ask him when you get to heaven.

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).

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,

You had to have been a high priest to be a member of the great sanhedrin

Just think if Saul of Tarsus was married and his wife became a believer.

If he was so zealous against the church, wouldn't he be against his wife if

she had become part of it! If she was imprisoned, but not dead, he would

have had her back after his conversion. But if she was killed, do you not

think it would have been grievous to him after his conversion. And having

been married, it would have been very difficult for him to be around women,

knowing what he had done, and the messenger of satan buffeted him every

time he became lonely. Did the messenger of satan try to get him to sin.

Hey, don't tell me satan didn't want him back!!

Now I don't know that that is what happened but just think with that in

mind. Paul sure knew a lot about women as has been said before. Where

did he get the knowledge to teach young Timothy and Titus about women

and men! He had taken notice that Timothy's mother and grandmother had

faith and he felt that young Timothy had the same faith. Timothy's dad was

not a believer. He was also a Greek! The women taught him (grandmother

and mother).

Just some thoughts!
