- I would suspect that this is a corrupted reference to Gamaliel's
- speech before the Sanhedrin in Acts 5:34-39: But a certain Pharisee named
- Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, respected by all the people, rose up
- in the council and gave orders to put the men outside for a short
- time. And he said to them, "Men of Israel, take care what you propose
- to do with these men. For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be
- somebody; and a group of about four hundred men joined up with him. And he was
- slain; and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. After this
- man Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people
- after him. And he too perished, and all those who followed him were scattered.
- And so in the present case I say to you, stay away from these men and let them
- alone, for if this plan or action should be of men it will be overthrown;
- But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may
- even be found fighting against God."
