'''Jesus ben Ananias''' (Yeshua ben Hananiah) was a first-century Jewish preacher.
 
==Overview==
 
The "trial" of Jesus ben Ananias offers some striking parallels with the "trial" of Jesus of Nazareth. In 62 CE Jesus ben Ananias also was arrested in Jerusalem as he preached against the Temple. It was enough that ''some of the more prominent citizens [were] very annoyed at [his] ominous words'', to have him taken by the "Jewish authorities" before the Roman procurator, [[Albinus]]. Jesus ben Ananias was brutally scourged by the Romans but then released as [[Albinus]] decided that he was a "madman." What made the destiny of Jesus ben Ananias different from that of [[Jesus of Nazareth]] was probably the fact that the Roman procurator judged him to be an isolated individual without a dangerous following. 
 
According to [[Josephus]], Jesus ben Ananias continued to utter his prophecy of doom against the Temple and the city of Jerusalem in the years before the Jewish War, until he died during the siege of Jerusalem, struck by a stone.
