I understood it as he was alive while Jesus was alive but never met him. Being born in 5 AD, annon domino / year of our Lord, meant that Jesus would have been 5 yo went Saul/ Paul was born.
A.D., anno domini, meaning “in the year of our Lord”
Sometimes people think it means “after death,” but that would leave a 33-year gap between BC and AD dates.
Academia tends to use C.E. now, to mean “common era,” which is indexed to the same timeline but using non-religious language since a majority of people in the world are not Christian.
