and writes a sentence where Jesus of Nazareth is the one at whose name every knee bows and every tongue confesses.
speaker_0HOST
For a Pharisee trained under Gamaliel, someone who spent his early career prosecuting blasphemy, this is either the ceiling of Christology or the most reckless heresy a Jewish man could commit.
speaker_0HOST
There is no middle reading.
speaker_0HOST
The quotation will not let you find one.
Fulton SheenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And how many novenas of prayer must have been offered by the early Christians, begging God to send someone to answer Saul.
Fulton SheenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
These poor ignorant fishermen could never compete with this man who was a Roman citizen, schooled under Gamaliel.
Fulton SheenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And at Athens could quote two Greek poets.
Fulton SheenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So they asked God, send someone to answer Saul.
CodyHOST
We'd also like to pause and point out one person in the passage you might overlook.
CodyHOST
His name is Gamaliel.
CodyHOST
He was a member of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council under the authority of Rome.
CodyHOST
He was also hugely influential and widely regarded as one of the wisest men of the time.
CodyHOST
A wise person is someone who can sift through all of life's distracting details and make the choices that actually lead to a good and flourishing life.
CodyHOST
They not only know what is factually right or wrong, but they see what others don't see.
CodyHOST
Like Gamaliel in this passage, they can read between the lines and bring discernment and insight to bear on even the most complicated situations.
CodyHOST
Proverbs tells us that we can fall into a few categories when it comes to wisdom.
Uri LatiHOST
Rabbeinu Ahida brings a Gemara Massechet Sanhedrin, the Aflametit.
Uri LatiHOST
The Kesar asks Rabban Gamliel a very simple question.
Uri LatiHOST
He says to him, the Kesar, the Caesar, he asks Rabban Gamliel a very simple question.
Uri LatiHOST
He says, you Yehudim, you say that the Shekhinah is present in every Beit Knesset that there's ten people.
Uri LatiHOST
But let's say there's a hundred batik kinesiyot.
Uri LatiHOST
How is a shekhinah possibly able to go to every bet kinesit? What is this? How is the presence of God able to go to every bet kinesit? You guys are liars.
Uri LatiHOST
So Rabban Gamliel, right away, he summoned for his servant and he smacked the servant.
Uri LatiHOST
So the kesar asked Rabban Gamliel, why'd you smack your servant? He said, because he allowed the sun to shine down on your house when you were sleeping.
Amy-Jill LevineGUEST
Yeah, well, first of all, just read the text as a whole rather than just read something like Matthew chapter 23, which is the woes to you scribes and Pharisees, uh, invectives.
Amy-Jill LevineGUEST
Um, it, Gamaliel's a Pharisee, and he in Acts chapter 5 speaks up on behalf of Peter and John, and he's a lovely man.
Amy-Jill LevineGUEST
We actually have evidence of him from outside the New Testament.
Amy-Jill LevineGUEST
Uh, there's a fellow named Nicodemus in the Gospel of John who speaks up for Jesus and actually winds up together with Joseph of Arimathea burying Jesus, and quite a royal burial.
Brian GreenGUEST
And in Acts chapter number 22 in verse number three, again, this is Paul giving his testimony.
Brian GreenGUEST
In verse number three the Bible says, "I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in the city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous towards God, as ye all are this day.
Brian GreenGUEST
And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering unto prisons both men and women.
Brian GreenGUEST
As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I've received elders unto the brethren, And went to..." What's the next word? Damascus.
14 MINS LATER
Brian GreenGUEST
Boy, I tell you, salvation's a simple thing, isn't it? Paul realized that day.
Brian GreenGUEST
He said about himself, he said, "I was a religious man." He said, "I was devout Jew.
Brian GreenGUEST
I grew up at the feet of Gamaliel.
Brian GreenGUEST
I mean, I had it all down.
James BoiceHOST
There's some evidence for this because at different points in his writings he quotes from the Greek poets, from Epimenides, for example, and Menander as well as some others.
James BoiceHOST
On the other hand, as important as this Gentile or pagan education may be, it is greatly overshadowed by the reality of Paul's education in Jerusalem at the feet of the distinguished Jewish rabbi, Gamaliel.
James BoiceHOST
Paul went there in his early years, studied under Gamaliel, and then since his father was a Pharisee before him, he also became a Pharisee and thus entered upon a life determined by this cult of the most strict of all the Jewish sects.
James BoiceHOST
Pharisees made it their business to adhere strictly to the law and to resist any encroachments from paganism, particularly Gentile or Greek paganism in its Hellenistic form.
James BoiceHOST
Paul in these days was so zealous in his commitment to the Pharisaic ideals that he became, as he tells us in several places, a persecutor of the Christian church.
Philip BredenkampHOST
I thought, Paul, why would you ask for this? You studied under one of the greatest minds in history.
Philip BredenkampHOST
Gamaliel, which was one of the, you are so schooled in the Torah, in the first five books.
Philip BredenkampHOST
You are so well educated.
Philip BredenkampHOST
I can't believe you wrote for us Romans, Paul.
Mike ParkerHOST
It is.
Mike ParkerHOST
And I was also glad to hear him say, and it's a question I asked him the first time he was on the Joe Beaver Show, you may or may not recall, but one of my questions was the one year that he sort of, I use the phrase, you know, Paul and Gamaliel, it's a great phrase, sitting at the feet of, you know, that old expression, you sit at the feet of a mentor, a teacher, an instructor.
Mike ParkerHOST
And so Jamarcus, the one year he, quote, sat at the feet of Mike Leach in Pullman in 2016.
Mike ParkerHOST
He gave a very good answer that first day, but it's clear that that probably needs to be elucidated a bit more in terms of the kind of influence that Mike had because Canzano went out of his way to point out Jamarcus paying tribute to Mike after Jamarcus' first win, that he felt like Mike was part of it.
Dave RobertsHOST
He had quite the education.
Dave RobertsHOST
He was educated, we're told, from Gamaliel, who was one of the top teachers in the world at the time, and he could afford an education at that level.
Dave RobertsHOST
He became a member of the Pharisees, that ruling party in Judaism.
Dave RobertsHOST
The group that were legalistic wanted everything to be just right, to abide by every small element of the law.
