Philippians 3:5 - Additional Comments

He was of the tribe of Benjamin, in which tribe the temple stood, and which adhered to Judah when all the other tribes revolted. Benjamin was the father's darling, and this was a favorite tribe.
"A Hebrew of Hebrews" - his ancestors had married other Hebrews, not Gentiles.
For learning, he was a Pharisee, brought up at the feet of Gamaliel, an eminent doctor of the law: and was a scholar learned in all the learning of the Jews, taught according to the perfect manner of the laws of the fathers (Acts 22:3). He was a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee (Acts 23:6), and after the most strict sect of his religion lived a Pharisee (Acts 26:5).
