Gamaliel is a figure in the New Testament who was a Pharisee and a teacher of the law. He is mentioned twice in the book of Acts, where he is depicted as a wise and respected teacher. In Acts 5:34-39, Gamaliel advises the Jewish council to leave the apostles alone, arguing that if their work is of human origin, it will fail, but if it is of God, they will not be able to stop it. In Acts 22:3, it is revealed that Gamaliel was the teacher of the Apostle Paul before his conversion. He is also mentioned in the Talmud and other Jewish texts as one of the most distinguished rabbis of his time.
