God is sovereign. His choices are intriguing. They confound me.
To reach Jews, God chose simple, uneducated men.
What a stark contrast with the educated elitists who had established a caste system in which the uneducated could never attain to the highest levels.
Thus, the disciples knowledge and powerful message and preaching obviously had a different source.
To reach Gentiles, God chose one from the Jewish educated elite.
He reformed Saul to be the vessel to present Christ clearly to pagan cultures.
