teacher of the law
Nomodidaskalos identifies people presented as teachers of the law, whether seated among hearers, honored in council, or seeking that role.
The term identifies teachers of the law: plural groups are seated while teaching occurs in Luke 5:17 and are criticized for aspiring to teach without understanding in 1 Timothy 1:7, while Acts 5:34 identifies Gamaliel as an honored individual in that capacity.

The plural nominative form identifies a group sitting while teaching takes place in Luke 5:17; in 1 Timothy 1:7, the same plural form names people who desire this position but do not understand what they say or confidently assert. The singular nominative form identifies Gamaliel in Acts 5:34, where the APB renders him as honored by all the people and acting in the council.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all three verses, the APB presents the term with the phrase "teachers of the law" or "a teacher of the law." Its wording confirms the verse-level presentation rather than isolating each element of the Greek term.
