Gamaliel’s Advice

33 When they heard this, they were afurious and plotted to kill them.  
34 Then one in the council stood up, a Pharisee named aGamaliel, a teacher of the law held in respect by all the people, and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a little while.  
35 And he said to them: “Men of Israel,1 take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men.  
36 For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody. A number of men, about four hundred,1 joined him. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing.

Acts 5:34

Then stood up . . . Gamaliel—in all probability one of that name celebrated in the Jewish writings for his wisdom, the son of Simeon (possibly the same who took the infant Saviour in his arms, Luke 2:25-35), and grandson of HILLEL, another celebrated rabbi. He died eighteen years before the destruction of Jerusalem [LIGHTFOOT].
