Does Paul make use of the Jesus tradition? This question is examined through parallel textual traditions in New Testament texts. The analysis compels revision of the idea of linear continuity in the textual tradition, from Jesus’s annunciation through the Letters of the Apostles. In the light of the Jesus story, Paul and early Christianity formed ethical convictions that were later transferred back to the Gospels as the words of Jesus.
