Yeshua in Revelation 2:2
mentions a trial at Ephesus of persons who told the Ephesians they were apostles.
The verdict found those "saying they were apostles" were not true apostles, proving Jesus concurs that a self-serving claim to apostleship does not suffice to prove it is so.
Jesus told the Ephesians:
In Revelation, Jesus did not say the same thing to any of the other six churches whom He addressed.
Jesus made this remark to the only church among the seven whom we know Paul visited:
the church at Ephesus.
And among the seven churches, it was only the church at Ephesus whom we know Paul told that he was an apostle. (Eph. 1:1.)
Paul wrote this church:
If Paul were the object of Jesus' remarks in Rev. 2:2,
it then makes sense that only the church at Ephesus would be commended for trying someone who told the Ephesians that he was an apostle.
To the Ephesians, and to them alone, Jesus commends them for testing the ones who "said" they were apostles and are not, but are "liars."
Now it was to the Ephesians that we likewise know Paul `said he was an apostle....
you cannot get any more information than from the lips of Yeshua who is false~~~~ SAUL

I have known thy works, and thy labour, and thy endurance, and that thou art not able to bear evil ones, and that thou hast tried those saying themselves to be apostles and are not, and hast found them liars. (Rev. 2:2.)
