Gamaliel
   reward of God. (1.) A chief of the tribe of Manasseh at the
   census at Sinai (Num. 1:10; 2:20; 7:54, 59).
   
     (2.) 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.
   
     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" (Acts 5:34-40). Paul was one of his disciples
   (22:3).
