'''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 [[Zealots|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 [[Fadus|Cuspius Fadus]] had crashed the rebellion of [[Theudas]].
