		When Theudas had been thus instructed, he went out immediately and gat him to his evil den, and took his magical books, and, because they were the beginnings of all evil, and the store- houses of devilish mysteries, burnt them with fire.

		Another problem is that Luke had Gamaliel saying that the rebellion of Judas of Galilee happened after the uprising led by Theudas, but Josephus claimed the reverse.
		Judas of Galilee preceded Theudas as a Messianic pretender.
		DAVID CONKLIN It is suggested that based on the dissimilarities of the events (especially where Josephus says "a great part of the people" followed Theudas vs the only 400 in Luke)that they are referring to 2 separate events; which given the chronic turmoil in Palestine is quite likely.

		Josephus described Theudas as a self-proclaimed prophet who deluded the majority of the masses" (four hundred men according to Acts) with his promise to divide the Jordan River upon command so that the people could cross with ease, thus repeating the miracle performed by Joshua.
		The first on "Theudas" is unduly skeptical; the one on "Gamaliel" is unduly speculative.
		Therefore, the reference by Gamaliel to the minor exploits of a Theudas was not necessarily historically illegitimate or confused.

		The main argument is that one of the messianic prophecies foretold that the Messiah and his followers were to his stay in the wilderness.
		Theudas' claim to be able to divide the river is a clear allusion to Joshua 3.14-17, which has everything to do with the redemption of Israel.
		Another argument is that the author of the Acts of the apostles mentions Theudas in a messianic context (quoted above).

		His Alexandrian followers claimed that Valentinus was a follower of Theudas, who was in turn a follower of St. Paul of Tarsus.
		Valentinus claimed that Theudas imparted to him the secret wisdom that Paul had taught privately to his inner circle, which Paul publicly referred to in connection with his visionary encounter with the risen Christ (Romans 16:25; 1 Corinthians 2:7; 2 Corinthians 12:2-4; Acts 9:9-10), when he received the secret teaching from him.

		One example of a change to the gospels is when the Acts of the Apostles mention the death of a man named Theudas in the trial of Peter (Acts 5:36).

		It is probable that the name of some unknown insurrectionist was replaced by the name "Theudas" which was much better known.

		He read, in the Acts, of Theudas; he read, in Josephus, of a similar character of the same name; he identified the two hastily, and without a thought of any chronological difficulty in the case.

		This would place the activity of Theudas PRIOR to the year 6 A.D. (which was when Judas led his revolt).
		Josephus documents this uprising of Theudas in his Antiquities of the Jews (book 20, chapter 5, section 1), an uprising which took place during the administration of Cuspius Fadus the procurator (44-46 A.D.).
		"Theudas" was a fairly common name at that time, thus "the Theudas Gamaliel referred to may have been one of the many insurgent leaders who arose in Palestine at the time of Herod the Great's death in 4 B.C., and not the Theudas who led the Jewish uprising of A.D.

	NKJV \| Acts 1:1 - 10:48
		Gamaliel was given the honored title of "Rabban," meaning "Our Teacher." It is said in the Mishna-the commentary on the Torah, the first five books of the OT-that when Gamaliel died, "the glory of the Torah ceased, and purity and sanctity died out also." This is an impressive eulogy for a Jewish teacher.
		A certain Theudas is mentioned by the Jewish historian Josephus, who places Theudas's revolt against Rome around &AD; 44.
		Most likely, the revolution of Theudas that Gamaliel referred to took place before &AD; 6 and was led by a different Theudas than the person Josephus mentions in his history.

		Before the Crucifixion, there would be a need to distinguish him among the apostles from Judas Iscariot, and after the Crucifixion there would be an additional reason for being emphatic about the distinction.
		"Thaddaeus" is possibly a variant of "Theudas," which in turn is perhaps used as a Greek equivalent of "Judas" (with the Hebrew Name of God replaced by the Greek "theos").
		Since the Aramaic "thad" means "chest," we may suppose either that "Theudas" was re-Semiticized by a folk-etymology or that Judas received the nickname "Thaddeus" directly.

		But the fact must be recognized that though the general statement as to Gamaliel’s position may be quite correct, the report of his speech cannot be regarded as entirely accurate.
		20:5,1) gives an account of an insurgent leader named Theudas, who, in the reign of Claudius, a dozen years or more after the time to which Luke is referring, announced himself as a prophet and secured a great many followers, and was finally conquered and slain by the procurator Cuspius Fadus.
		The accuracy of Josephus’ chronology at this point cannot be doubted, and it would seem therefore that the author of the Acts, unconscious of the anachronism involved, must have put into Gamaliel’s mouth words which he did not actually utter.
