In the Christian tradition, Gamaliel is celebrated as a Pharisee doctor of  Jewish Law, who was the teacher of  Paul The Apostle

.In The Bible  The Book Of Acts portrays Gamaliel as a man of great respect.

 

 A burial site in Bet Shearim, recently chosen as protected site by the UN ,in cave number 14, on the lower, main path, where Rabbi Judah HaNasi was purportedly buried. Purportedly, because there is no inscription which mentions him, although the names of three other rabbis are written on the cave's walls: "Simon my son shall be hakham [president of the Sanhedrin], Gamaliel my son patriarch, Hanania bar Hama shall preside over the great court."
