³⁸ Are you by chance the Egyptian who, before this, got the people worked up against the government and took four thousand men of the Assassins out into the waste land?

²⁶ If, then, they say to you, See, he is in the waste land; go not out: See, he is in the inner rooms; put no faith in it.

³⁶ For before this there was Theudas, who said he was someone important, to whom about four hundred men gave their support: he was put to death, and his band was broken up and came to nothing.

³⁷ After this man, there was Judas of Galilee, at the time of the numbering, and some of the people went after him: he was put to death, and all his supporters were put to flight.

¹¹ Happy are you when men give you a bad name, and are cruel to you, and say all evil things against you falsely, because of me.

¹³ When evil things are said about us we give gentle answers: we are made as the unclean things of the world, as that for which no one has any use, even till now.
