In the mean time, Crassus came as successor to Gabinius in Syria.
He took away all the rest of the gold belonging to the temple of Jerusalem,
in order to furnish himself for his expedition against the Parthians. He
also took away the two thousand talents which Pompey had not touched; but
when he had passed over Euphrates, he perished himself, and his army with
him; concerning which affairs this is not a proper time to speak [more
largely].

Now, my father Matthias was not only eminent on account of is nobility,
but had a higher commendation on account of his righteousness, and was
in great reputation in Jerusalem, the greatest city we have. I was myself
brought up with my brother, whose name was Matthias, for he was my own
brother, by both father and mother; and I made mighty proficiency in the
improvements of my learning, and appeared to have both a great memory and
understanding. Moreover, when I was a child, and about fourteen years of
age, I was commended by all for the love I had to learning; on which account
the high priests and principal men of the city came then frequently to
me together, in order to know my opinion about the accurate understanding
of points of the law. And when I was about sixteen years old, I had a mind
to make trim of the several sects that were among us. These sects are three:
- The first is that of the Pharisees, the second that Sadducees, and the
third that of the Essens, as we have frequen

So when Gessius had been beaten, as we have said already, the principal
men of Jerusalem, seeing that the robbers and innovators had arms in great
plenty, and fearing lest they, while they were unprovided of arms, should
be in subjection to their enemies, which also came to be the case afterward;
and, being informed that all Galilee had not yet revolted from the Romans,
but that some part of it was still quiet; they sent me and two others of
the priests, who were men of excellent characters, Joazar and Judas, in
order to persuade the ill men there to lay down their arms, and to teach
them this lesson, - That it were better to have those arms reserved for
the most courageous men that the nation had [than to be kept there]; for
that it had been resolved, That those our best men should always have their
arms ready against futurity; but still so, that they should wait to see
what the Romans would do.

Now, as soon as I was come into Galilee, and had learned this state
of things by the information of such as told me of them, I wrote to the
sanhedrim at Jerusalem about them, and required their direction what I
should do. Their direction was, that I should continue there, and that,
if my fellow legates were willing, I should join with them in the care
of Galilee. But those my fellow legates, having gotten great riches from
those tithes which as priests were their dues, and were given to them,

and thence I sent messengers to the senate of Tiberius, and desired that
the principal men of the city would come to me: and when they were come,
Justus himself being also with them, I told them that I was sent to them
by the people of Jerusalem as a legate, together with these other priests,
in order to persuade them to demolish that house which Herod the tetrarch
had built there, and which had the figures of living creatures in it, although
our laws have forbidden us to make any such

But when I had dismissed my fellow legates, and sent them back to
Jerusalem, I took care to have arms provided, and the cities fortified.
And when I had sent for the most hardy among the robbers, I saw that it
was not in my power to take their arms from them; but I persuaded the multitude
to allow them money as pay, and told them it was better for them to give
them a little willingly, rather than to [be forced to] overlook them when
they plundered their goods from them. And when I had obliged them to take
an oath not to come into that country, unless they were invited to come,
or else when they had not their pay given them, I dismissed them, and charged
them neither to make an expedition against the Romans, nor against those
their neighbors that lay round about them; for my first care was to keep
Galilee in peace. So I was willing to have the principal of the Galileans,
in all seventy, as hostages for their fidelity, but still under the notion
of friendship. Accordingly, I made them m
