Gamaliel (1st century CE) was, according to Rabbinic and Christian traditions, a leader of the Pharisees at Jerusalem before the Jewish War.
Overview
Gamaliel is mentioned in both Rabbinic and Christian sources.
The Mishnah introduces him as one of the greatest teacher of Israel and as such he is mentioned in the entire Rabbinic literature.
In the Acts of the Apostles, Gamaliel is praised for his tolerant attitude toward the first Christians. When Peter and John were brought before the Sanhedrin, Gamaliel favored their release (Acts 5). In a speech Paul remembered him as his Pharisaic teacher at Jerusalem (Acts 22:3).
Later Christian tradition would speculate on Gamaliel's (and Nicodemus') conversion and even made him a saint.
