Person

Gamaliel (the Pharisee)

가말리엘 (바리새인)

Named at Acts 5:34: a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people. At 5:34–39 he stands up in the council, commands to put the apostles out for a little while, and says, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do”; he speaks of Theudas and of Judas of Galilee, and says, “if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown. But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!” At 5:40 they agree with him, and summoning the apostles, they beat them, command them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. Acts 22:3 reads, in the defense made in the Hebrew language: “I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict tradition of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all are today.”

ACT 5:33–42, engwebp
³³But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.
³⁴But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.
³⁵He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
³⁶For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. He was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.
³⁷After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
³⁸Now I tell you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.
³⁹But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”
⁴⁰They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
⁴¹They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.
⁴²Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.

¹“Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you.”
²When they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they were even more quiet. He said,
³“I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict tradition of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all are today.
⁴I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,
⁵as also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.
