But of the fourth sect of Jewish philosophy, Judas the Galilean was
the author. These men agree in all other things with the Pharisaic notions;
but they have an inviolable attachment to liberty, and say that God is
to be their only Ruler and Lord. They also do not value dying any kinds
of death, nor indeed do they heed the deaths of their relations and friends,
nor can any such fear make them call any man lord. And since this immovable
resolution of theirs is well known to a great many, I shall speak no further
about that matter; nor am I afraid that any thing I have said of them should
be disbelieved, but rather fear, that what I have said is beneath the resolution
they show when they undergo pain. And it was in Gessius Florus's time that
the nation began to grow mad with this distemper, who was our procurator,
and who occasioned the Jews to go wild with it by the abuse of his authority,
and to make them revolt from the Romans. And these are the sects of Jewish
philosophy.
