And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
One born out of due time, х too (G3588) ektroomati (G1626)] - 'the ONE untimely born' in the family of the apostles. As such a child, though born alive is yet not of the proper size, and scarcely worthy of the name of man, so "I am the least of the apostles," scarcely meet to be called one; a supernumerary taken into the college out of regular course; not led to Christ by gradual instruction, like a natural birth, but by a sudden power, as those prematurely born. Compare the similar image, and by the same spiritual power (1 Peter 1:3), "Begotten again by the resurrection of Jesus." Jesus' appearance on the way to Damascus is the one referred to.
