	*[[Messiah Claimants]] -- [[Jewish War]]

	~~==Overview==~~

	John of Giscala emerged as a leader of the Jewish Revolt in Galilee. For his radical positions he challenged the authority of [[Josephus]], who had being appointed governor of Galilee by the priestly authorities of Jerusalem. After the fall of [[Jotapata]] and the capture of [[Josephus]], the fortified town of [[Giscala]] was the last stronghold of the rebellion in [[Galilee]]. John was able to flee his hometown the day before it was taken by the Romans.

	Arrived an Jerusalem as a hero, John became one of the leaders of the rebellion. His alliance with the [[Eleazar ben Simon]] and the [[Zealots]] was decisive for the defeat of the moderate leadership, led by the former High Priest [[Ananus ben Ananus]]. The success of the most radical elements however generated an endless fight for hegemony, that was further complicated by the arrival of [[Simon bar Giora]]. This internal fighting greatly weakened the Jewish resistance in Jerusalem. The city was de facto divided into three factions. [[Simon bar Giora]] controlled the whole upper city and some of the lower city; John of Giscala held parts of the lower city and the temple's outer court. [[Eleazar ben Simon]] and the [[Zealots]] barricaded themselves in the Temple.

	Shortly before the [[Fall of Jerusalem by Titus]], John killed by deception [[Eleazar ben Simon]]. John was eventually captured by the Romans and sent captive to Rome for the triumphal parade of [[Titus]]. He probably died in prison in Rome.
