Saul, who would later be known as Paul, is in the early stages of his Christian journey. The Greek word for "learned" is "gnōrizō," which implies a revelation or making known. This suggests divine intervention or the work of the Holy Spirit in revealing the plot against him. The "plot" (Greek: "epiboulē") refers to a deliberate and malicious plan, highlighting the intense opposition Saul faced from those who saw him as a threat to their religious traditions.
