Commentary on Acts 5:34
Gamaliel's intervention - 'Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space' - introduces providential restraint. The Greek 'nomididaskalos' (doctor of the law) indicates expert teacher. His 'reputation among all the people' gave him authority the council respected. Removing apostles allowed frank discussion. Gamaliel's wisdom, though not saving faith, served God's purposes in protecting His servants.
