	~~'''Theudas''' (1st century CE) was a Jewish rebel, who led a short-lived revolt around 44-46 CE.~~

	~~==Overview==~~

	Theudas gathered a large crowd of followers and marched down to the [[Jordan River]]. He claimed "to be somebody" [i.e. the [[Messiah]]]. He expected that at his command the waters would part as a divine sign of his authority (see Joshua 3:14-17). The Roman governor [[:Category:Fadus (subject)\|Cuspius Fadus]] promptly intervened to suppress the messianic movement. The detachment of cavalry he sent killed or captured many of Theudas' followers. Theudas himself was beheaded and his head carried to [[Jerusalem]] as a military trophy.

	~~In the [[Acts of Apostles]], [[Gamaliel]] aligned Theudas with [[Judas the Galilean]] and [[Jesus of Nazareth]], as leaders of suppressed messianic revolts.~~
