Explanation
Gamalielwas more then respected, he was loved. He was oneof the very few Pharisees who did not regardGreek culture as sinful. When the Sanhendrin seemed likely to resort to violentmeasures against the apostles and Peter, Gamaliel intervened. The Pharisees had a belief whichcombined fate and free-will. They believed that all things were in the hand of God and,yet that man was responsible for his actions.
