	Jesus.Com.Au - Library - Documents - Josephus: On Jesus, Herod, John the Baptist
		This excited a very among great tumult among the Jews when it was day; for those that were near them were astonished at the sight of them, as indications that their laws were trodden under foot; for those laws do not permit any sort of image to be brought into the city.
		Hereupon the Jews, as it were at one signal, fell down in vast numbers together, and exposed their necks bare, and cried out that they were sooner ready to be slain, than that their law should be transgressed.
		Now the Jews were so sadly beaten, that many of them perished by the stripes they received, and many of them perished as trodden to death by themselves; by which means the multitude was astonished at the calamity of those that were slain, and held their peace.

		Jews could be seen wailing at the Western Wall, an emblematic scene bracketed both by the destruction of the Second Temple and the coming of the Messiah (and restoration of Israel) and by the crucifixion and the second coming of Christ.
		Jews, they insisted, were not relics of Biblical antiquity, but modern exponents of a universal religion and loyal citizens of the countries in which they lived.
		Jews were not the target audience for this and other exhibits of Biblical archeology or Biblical science, as Adler preferred to call this field, in recognition of the living material it included.

		Some say the Samaritans were the result of intermarriage of the Jews that were left in the land of Israel with the people that were deported by the King of Assyria from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath and Sepharvaim.
		Jews were scattered all over the known world.
		There are a number of good books that detail the history of the Jews from Bible times down to the present day which indicates that many Jews were persecuted by Christ church down through the ages.

	Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews Book XI
		Now there were slain by the Jews that were in the country, and in the other cities, seventy-five thousand of their enemies, and these were slain on the thirteenth day of the month, and the next day they kept as a festival.
		In like manner the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together, and feasted on the fourteenth day, and that which followed it; whence it is that even now all the Jews that are in the habitable earth keep these days festival, and send portions to one another.
		The Jews also did all together, with one voice, salute Alexander, and encompass him about; whereupon the kings of Syria and the rest were surprised at what Alexander had done, and supposed him disordered in his mind.

	Antiquities of the Jews
		Now the Jews that were at Alexandria were in great concern for those men, whose lot it was to contend for the temple at Jerusalem; for they took it very ill that any should take away the reputation of that temple, which was so ancient and so celebrated all over the habitable earth.
		And as the Jews leaped from the top of one house to the top of another, and pursued them after that manner, it thence happened that the pursuit was so very surprising.
		However, this prosperous state of affairs moved the Jews to envy Hyrcanus; but they that were the worst disposed to him were the Pharisees, (28) who were one of the sects of the Jews, as we have informed you already.

		This may possibly be forgiven in Jews, greatly versed in heathen learning and philosophy, as Philo had ever been, and as Josephus had long been when he wrote these Antiquities.
		sterling, is, by the learned Jews, owned to be one-fifth larger than were their old shekels; which determination agrees perfectly with the remaining shekels that have Samaritan inscriptions, coined generally by Simon the Maccabee, about 230 years before Josephus published his Antiquities, which never weigh more than 2s.
		(25) These words of Josephus are remarkable, that the lawgiver of the Jews required of the priests a double degree of parity, in comparison of that required of the people, of which he gives several instances immediately.

	Josephus' Account of the Origins of Hanukkah
		So he left the temple bare, and took away the golden lampstands, and the golden altar [of incense], and table [of showbread], and the altar [of burnt offering]; and did not abstain from even the veils, which were made of fine linen and scarlet.
		And when he had pillaged the whole city, some of the inhabitants he slew, and some he carried captive, together with their wives and children, so that the multitude of those captives that were taken alive amounted to about ten thousand.
		And, indeed, many Jews there were who complied with the king’s commands, either voluntarily, or out of fear of the penalty that was pronounced.

	The Jews of the Dispersion
		In the first century, no less than in the nineteenth, the Jews were at once the most exclusive and the most universal people in the civilized world.
		It was necessary that they should be unlike other nations, lest through amalgamation with them they should corrupt the legacy of monotheistic faith with which they had been intrusted; at the same time representatives of the nation must be in the midst of all other nations, to serve there as witnesses of the true God.
		Wide as was the Roman Empire, there was scarcely a corner of it into which the Jews had not penetrated by the age of Augustus.

	Josephus and Jesus Christ
		However, the Jews [1] were not pleased with what had been done about this water; and many ten thousands of the people got together, and made a clamor against him, and insisted that he should leave off that design.
		The works of Josephus are not the Holy Bible; “Jewish Antiquities” is not the Word of God in the same sense that the Pentateuch and the Gospels are.
		I suggest that in the first century Jews agreed that the Messiah was to be someone great and holy; but beyond that there was disagreement over whether the Messiah was to be a military leader, a great prophet, a priest-king, or some combination of those.

	CHAPTER 10
		And upon the division of the taxes between the two kings, all the principal men framed the taxes of their several countries, and collecting the sum that was settled for them, paid the same to the [two] kings.
		When the Jews heard this message of the king, they were confounded; but so sordidly covetous was Onias, that nothing of things nature made him ashamed.
		He was a good man, and of great magnanimity; and brought the Jews out of a state of poverty and meanness, to one that was more splendid.

		And when the Jews had suffered this loss, the Arabians raised their spirits after their defeat, and returning back again, slew those that were already put to flight; and indeed all sorts of slaughter were now frequent, and of those that escaped, a few only returned into the camp.
		When the Arabians were informed of this, and when those that hated the Jews, and pleased themselves with aggravating the reports, told them of it, they raised their spirits, as if their enemy's country was quite overthrown, and the men were utterly destroyed, and thought there now remained nothing that could oppose them.
		The Jews pursued them, but could not get in with them, but sat round about the bulwark, and watched any assistance that would get in to them, and prevented any there, that had a mind to it, from running away.

		And now it was that a great sedition arose between the Jews that inhabited Cesarea, and the Syrians who dwelt there also, concerning their equal right to the privileges belonging to citizens; for the Jews claimed the pre-eminence, because Herod their king was the builder of Cesarea, and because he was by birth a Jew.
		Now those Jews that were more moderate, and of principal dignity among them, were afraid of themselves, and desired of Felix that he would sound a retreat to his soldiers, and spare them for the future, and afford them room for repentance for what they had done; and Felix was prevailed upon to do so.
		(13) This Simon, a friend of Felix, a Jew, born in Cyprus, though he pretended to be a magician, and seems to have been wicked enough, could hardly be that famous Simon the magician, in the Acts of the Apostles, 8:9, etc., as some are ready to suppose.

	The original "Antiquities of the Jews" by Josephus does not support the existance of Jesus
		He was a messianic Jew, not a Christian, so he could not be accused of bias.
		His two major tomes were The Antiquities of the Jews and The Wars of the jews.
		Antiquities was written sometime around the year 90 AD.

	Josephus
		Jewish Antiquities, in twenty books, was written after Josephus's Jewish Wars was received with favor.
		The treatise covers the history of the Jews until the outbreak of the great war.
		The Antiquities were probably published in 93 AD, in the thirteenth year of Domitian, the 56th year of the author's life.

	TBK - The Jesus Forgery: Josephus Unveiled
		For centuries a brief paragraph in "Antiquities of the Jews" by the Jewish historian Josephus (37-100 CE) has been cited as proof of the existence of Jesus Christ.
		When addressing the mythical nature of Jesus Christ, one issue repeatedly raised is the purported "evidence" of his existence to be found in the writings of Flavius Josephus, the famed Jewish general and historian who lived from about 37 to 100 CE.
		Indeed, Josephus was a well-educated Jew who lived in the precise area where the gospel tale was said to have taken place, as did his parents, the latter at the very time of Christ's alleged advent.

		If there was a Jew who taught of himself as the Son of God and the Logos (as the gospel of John tells us Jesus did) and miraculously rose from the dead, it is highly improbable that Philo would not have heard of him.
		The first paragraph deals with the trouble between the Jews and Pontius Pilate over his exhibition of the images of Caeser in Jerusalem which the natives considered sacrilegious.
		This should not surprise the reader, for it is definitely not the only case in history we have of Christians altering the contents of documents to support their faith.

		It appears that soon before the publication of The Antiquities Justus of Tiberias had published his history of the Jewish War, with serious accusation of misconduct during the war in Galilee directed against Josephus.
		It is possible that Josephus' third and autobiographical work, the Life, was published at the same time as the Antiquities and as a reply to Justus.

	Temple
		The bad news of course is that the legitimacy of the Holiest place in the world for Jews, the "Wailing Wall" is called into question, for if the original Temple was not constructed on the Temple Mount, then the Wailing Wall could not have been part of its enclosure wall.
		4..............But for the tower itself, when Herod the king of the Jews had fortified it more firmly than before, in order to secure and guard the temple, he gratified Antonius, who was his friend, and the Roman ruler, and then gave it the name of the Tower of Antonia.
		It is also reported, (25) that during the time that the temple was building, it did not rain in the daytime, but that the showers fell in the nights, so that the work was not hindered.

	PTET - Did Josephus mention Jesus Christ?
		These are in passages 18.3.3 and 20.9 of his Antiquities Of The Jews.
		The next obvious query is Origen's correctness of the reference to "the 18th book of his Antiquities" in "Against Celsus".
		However, there are no earlier texts which can prove whether any part of the Testimonium Flavianum was actually written by Josephus; and there is reason to be unsure of the veracity of Origen himself as a chronicler of history.

		For when in after-ages they grew potent, they claimed to themselves the glory of antiquity; giving names to the nations that sounded well (in Greek) that they might be better understood among themselves; and setting agreeable forms of government over them, as if they were a people derived from themselves.
		But as for the Arabians, they circumcise after the thirteenth year, because Ismael, the founder of their nation, who was born to Abraham of the concubine, was circumcised at that age; concerning whom I will presently give a particular account, with great exactness.
		(18) That the Jews were called Hebrews from this their progenitor Heber, our author Josephus here rightly affirms; and not from Abram the Hebrew, or passenger over Euphrates, as many of the moderns suppose.

	The Testimonium Flavianum
		The calamity originated with four Jews in Rome who financially abused a gullible Roman lady: that caused the banishment of all the Jews living in the city.
		Josephus, as a Jew, was not likely to elaborate on the alleged originator of a new religion which was, by then, expanding and competing with Judaism for new converts.
		Finally, it appears the whole episode was mostly written in order to explain the replacement of a high priest (in 'Antiquities', Josephus gave a lot of importance to the high priests and their succession), and not to narrate James' trial and death by stoning, mentioned here in a few words only.

		Those books of the War were published about A.D. 75, and these Antiquities, A. 93, about eighteen years later.
