2nd Week of Easter - Friday B
In today’s first reading, the two apostles are about to be sentenced, when Gamaliel makes his intervention. Who was Gamaliel? He was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin. He was a heavy-hitter, a teacher and mentor of the then infamous Saul, persecutor of Christians, who turned into the glorious Saint Paul. This was Saul’s pre-conversion guide.
