Nicodemus, Gamaliel, Joseph of Ramatayim.
All these teachers of the Law had met with Jesus, first after His bar Mitzvah, coming of age to manhood in Jerusalem, the time His parents lost Him in their family train! Luke 2:45-47.
Nicodemus came secretly yo talk to Jesus and He told him, he had to be born-again. John 3:3.
While Joseph gave his tomb for the burial of the Lord and had the courage to ask for His body from the Roman authorities. Matthew 27:58-64, Luke 23:52.
Gamaliel is one of debate, since he warned the religious leaders to be careful that they did not oppose God in relation to Jesus’ Disciples or now Apostles. This old man was also the teacher to Saul, who was chosen by God to spread the ‘Good News message to the Gentile world and the writer of the letters of the New Testament. Acts 5:33-39.
