Judas the Galilean / Judas ben Hezekiah (1st century CE) was a Jewish rebel, who led a revolt around 6 CE, at the time of the census of Quirinius, and gave birth to the Zealot movement. Most likely, Judas the Galilean is the same Judas son of Hezekiah who had already rebelled against the Romans in the year 4 BCE.
Overview
Josephus first mentions a Galilean leader, Judas, the son of that Hezekiah whom Herod the Great had executed. Judas was responsible for a rebellion in the year 4 BCE, which Varus brutally suppressed (see also Simon of Perea and Athronges).
The beginning of Roman direct rule and the census of Quirinius in 6 CE triggered another revolt by Judas the Galilean. The formation of the party of the Zealots is attributed to Judas and Zaddok.
In the Acts of Apostles, Gamaliel aligned Judas the Galilean with Theudas and Jesus of Nazareth, as leaders of suppressed messianic revolts. The author of the Acts put the revolt of Judas the Galilean chronologically after Theudas, most likely since Judas' sons James and Simon were finally executed by procurator Tiberius Alexander also in about 46 CE, shortly after his predecessor Cuspius Fadus had crashed the rebellion of Theudas.
