Jesus Son Of Damneus
Jesus son of Damneus (Greek: Ἰησοῦς του Δαμναίου, Hebrew: ישוע בן דמנאי, ''Yeshua` ben Damnai'') was a Herodian-era High Priest of Judaea in Jerusalem, Iudaea Province. In the ''Antiquities of the Jews'' ( Book 20, Chapter 9) first-century historian Josephus states that Jesus ben Damneus was made high priest after the previous high priest, Ananus son of Ananus, was removed from his position for executing James the brother of Jesus of Nazareth (James the Just). This occurred after a large number of Jews complained and petitioned the king. Jesus ben Damneus himself was deposed less than a year later. While the authenticity of some passages in Book 18 of ''Antiquities of the Jews'' has been subject to debate, the overwhelming majority of scholars consider the discussion of the death of James in Section 9 of Book 20 to be authentic. The works of Josephus refer to at least twenty different people with the name Jesus. There is a scholarly consen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Caiaphas
Joseph ben Caiaphas (; c. 14 BC – c. 46 AD) was the High Priest of Israel during the first century. In the New Testament, the Gospels of Gospel of Matthew, Matthew, Gospel of Luke, Luke and Gospel of John, John indicate he was an organizer of the plot to kill Jesus. He is portrayed as presiding over the Sanhedrin trial of Jesus. The primary sources for Caiaphas' life are the New Testament and the writings of Josephus. The latter records he was made high priest by the Roman procurator Valerius Gratus after Simon ben Camithus had been deposed. Etymology The Babylonian Talmud (Yevamot 15B) gives the family name as Kuppai, while the Jerusalem Talmud (Yevamot 1:6) mentions ''Nekifi''. The ''Mishnah'', Parah 3:5, refers to the family name as hakKof (perhaps "the Monkey", a play on his name for opposing the Pharisees). The family name ''Caiaphas'' קַיָּפָה has a few possible origins: * from קוּפָּה 'basket', 'tub', verbalized as קִיֵּף , whence קַיָּף meani ...

Theophilus Ben Ananus
Theophilus () was the High Priest in the Second Temple in Jerusalem from 37 to 41 CE according to Josephus's ''Antiquities of the Jews''. He was a member of one of the wealthiest and most influential Jewish families in Iudaea Province during the 1st century. - points to High Priest Theophilus as the person to whom the Gospel of Luke is addressed, but Theophilus is a common enough name that there are many other possibilities for the addressee of Luke's Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles. In its favor is the fact that in Luke Theophilus is called by the title Most Excellent (''kratiste''), indicating he held a political office like high priest, the ethnarch under the Romans. In Acts 1:1 he does not have this honorific indicating that he no longer held an office of the Roman government. This provides an unusual identifier that eliminates other candidates for whom such a change in office was not effected. The honorific, ''kratiste'', can in no way be interpreted as providing any ...

Doras arranged for some hired men to mingle with the worshippers in the Temple in Jerusalem, while they hid daggers under their garments. These assassins succeeded in killing Jonathan during ...
