It is interesting that Gamaliel, who convinced the Sanhedrin to be slightly lenient with the apostles after the death of Christ, was the teacher of Saul who was anything but lenient with the followers of Christ. We don’t have any indication that Gamaliel accepted Christ but he demonstrated the wisdom and perspective of a good man in recommending patience and counseling that the Sanhedrin couldn’t fight something if God had ordained it.
