He is most prominently mentioned in the Book of Acts, where he is depicted as a voice of reason and moderation during the early days of the Christian church.<br><br><b>Background and Position</b><br><br>Gamaliel was a member of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council, and is described as a Pharisee, a sect known for its strict adherence to the Torah and oral traditions. He is often identified as Gamaliel the Elder, a leading authority in the Sanhedrin in the first century AD. According to Jewish tradition, he was the grandson of the famous Rabbi Hillel, one of the most revered figures in Jewish history. Gamaliel's influence and wisdom were widely recognized, and he held a position of great respect among the Jewish people.<br><br><b>Role in the New Testament</b><br><br>Gamaliel is mentioned specifically in <a href="/acts/5-34.htm">Acts 5:34-40</a>. During a heated debate in the Sanhedrin regarding the apostles' preaching about Jesus, Gamaliel stands up to address the council. The apostles had been arrested for teaching in Jesus' name, and there was a strong desire among some members of the Sanhedrin to put them to death. Gamaliel, however, advises caution and restraint. He reminds the council of previous movements that had failed and suggests that if the apostles' work is of human origin, it will fail on its own. However, if it is from God, they will not be able to stop it and may find themselves fighting against God. His counsel leads to the apostles being flogged and released rather than executed.<br><br><a href="/acts/5-38.htm">Acts 5:38-39</a> records his wise counsel: "So in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or endeavor is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God."<br><br><b>Influence on Paul</b><br><br>Gamaliel is also noted for his influence on Saul of Tarsus, who later became the Apostle Paul. In <a href="/acts/22-3.htm">Acts 22:3</a>, Paul refers to his education under Gamaliel, stating, "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city. I studied under Gamaliel and was thoroughly trained in the law of our fathers and was just as zealous for God as any of you are today." This connection highlights Gamaliel's role in shaping one of Christianity's most pivotal figures, although Paul would later diverge significantly from Pharisaic traditions.<br><br><b>Legacy and Significance</b><br><br>Gamaliel's legacy is one of wisdom and moderation. His approach to the apostles' situation reflects a deep understanding of the potential for divine intervention in human affairs. His willingness to consider the possibility that the Christian movement could be from God demonstrates an openness that was not common among his peers. Gamaliel's influence extended beyond his lifetime, as he is remembered in both Christian and Jewish traditions as a figure of great learning and integrity. His teachings and actions continue to be studied and respected for their insight and prudence.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Gamaliel</span><p>recompense of God; camel of God<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Gamaliel</span><p>(<i>recompense of God</i>). <ol> <li>Son of Pedahzur; prince or captain of the tribe of Manasseh at the census at Sinai, (<a href="/numbers/1-10.htm">Numbers 1:10</a>; <a href="/numbers/20-20.htm">20:20</a>; <a href="/numbers/7-54.htm">7:54,59</a>) and at starting on the march through the wilderness. ch.

He possessed great influence among the Jews, and is said by some to have presided over the Sanhedrin during the reigns of Tiberius, Cains, and Claudius. The Talmundists say that he was the son of Rabbi Simeon, and grandson of Hillel, the celebrated teacher of the law, and that upon his death the glory of the law departed. His noble intervention before the Sanhedrin saved the apostles from an ignominious death, and shows that he was gifted with great wisdom and tolerance, if not strongly inclined towards the gospel, <a href="/context/acts/5-33.htm">Acts 5:33-40</a>. The apostle Paul thought it a high honor to have been one of his pupils, <a href="/context/acts/22-3.htm">Acts 22:3</a>, and no doubt received from him not only a zealous enthusiasm for the Jewish law, but many lessons of candor, impartiality, and liberality. His high renown, however, among the Jewish rabbins of later ages, seems inconsistent with the tradition that he embraced Christianity. </p><a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Reward of God. <p>(1.)

The son of rabbi Simeon, and grandson of the famous rabbi Hillel. He was a Pharisse, and therefore the opponent of the party of the Sadducees. He was noted for his learning, and was president of the Sanhedrim during the regins of Tiberius, Caligula, and Claudius, and died, it is said, about eighteen years before the destruction of Jerusalem.<p>When the apostles were brought before the council, charged with preaching the resurrection of Jesus, as a zealous Pharisee Gamaliel councelled moderation and calmness. By a reference to well-known events, he advised them to "refrain from these men." If their work or counsel was of man, it would come to nothing; but if it was of God, they could not destroy it, and therefore ought to be on their guard lest they should be "found fighting against God" (<a href="/acts/5-34.htm">Acts 5:34</a>-40). Paul was one of his disciples (<a href="/acts/22-3.htm">22:3</a>). <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">GAMALIEL</span><p>ga-ma'-li-el (gamli'el, "reward or recompense of God"; Gamaliel):<br><br>(1) The son of Pedahzur, and "prince of the children of Manasseh," chosen to aid in taking the census in the Wilderness (<a href="/numbers/1-10.htm">Numbers 1:10</a>; <a href="/numbers/2-20.htm">Numbers 2:20</a>; <a href="/numbers/7-54.htm">Numbers 7:54, 59</a>; 10:23).<br><br>(2) A Pharisee who at the meeting of the "council" succeeded in persuading its members to adopt a more reasonable course when they were incensed at the doctrine of Peter and the rest of the apostles and sought to slay them (<a href="/acts/5-33.htm">Acts 5:33-40</a>). That he was well qualified for this task is attested by the fact that he was himself a member of the Sanhedrin, a teacher of the law, and held in high honor among all the people. In his speech he pointed out to his fellow-councilors the dire consequences that might ensue upon any precipitous action on their part. While quoting instances, familiar to his hearers, of past insurrections or seditions that had failed, he reminded them at the same time that if this last under Peter "is of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found even to be fighting against God." As a result of his arguments, the apostles, after being beaten and admonished to speak no longer in the name of Jesus, were released. In the speech which he was permitted by Lysias to deliver from the stairs of the palace after the riot in Jerusalem, Paul referred to Gamaliel as the teacher of his youth, who instructed him rigidly in the Mosaic law (<a href="/acts/22-3.htm">Acts 22:3</a>).<br><br>The toleration and liberality displayed by Gamaliel upon the occasion of his speech before the Sanhedrin were all the more remarkable because of their rarity among the Pharisees of the period. Although the strict observance by the Christians of temple worship, and their belief in immortality, a point in dispute between Pharisees and Sadducees, may have had influence over him (Knowling), no credence is to be attached to the view that he definitely favored the apostles or to the tradition that he afterward became a Christian. The high place accorded him in Jewish tradition, and the fact that the title of Rabban, higher even than Rabbi or Master, was first bestowed upon him, testify that he remained a Pharisee to the end. His speech is rather indicative of one who knew the deeper truth in the Old Testament of the universal fatherhood of God, and who recognized that the presence of His power was the. deciding factor in all human enterprise. His social enactments were permeated by the same broad-minded spirit. Thus his legislation on behalf of the poor was formulated so as to include Gentiles as well as Jews. The authenticity of his speech has been questioned by Wendt and others, chiefly on account of the alleged anachronism in regard to Theudas (see THEUDAS); but the internal evidence is against this view (compare Knowling in The Expositor Greek Test., II, 161). It has also been objected by Baur and the Tubingen school that the liberal, peace-loving Gamaliel could not have been the teacher of the fanatical Saul. To this, reply has been made, firstly, that the charges against Stephen of destroying the temple and subverting the laws of Moses were not brought against Peter and the other apostles, and, secondly, that the doctrines of any teacher, however moderate he himself may be, are liable to be carried to extremes by an over-zealous pupil.<br><br>LITERATURE.<br><br>Conybeare and Howson, Life and Epistles of Paul, chapter ii; Kitto, Cyclopaedia of Biblical Lit., 1866, article "Gamaliel" (Ginsberg).<br><br>C.
