The only problem with this is that Luke absolutely refuses to use the
nominative
"apostle" to describe Paul (note in Acts 14:14 that this is a textual
variant), and he
repeatedly uses prophetic call language and symbolism when talking about
Paul's "road to
Damascus" experience. When Luke uses "apostle" in both the gospel and Acts,
it refers to
the Twelve; in my view, Luke is the one who created the equation between
"Apostle" and
"Twelve."
