Jonathan ben Ananus was the Jewish High Priest from 36 to 37 CE.
Overview
Jonathan was one of the five sons of Annas to take the office of High Priest. In 36 CE the Roman Governor of Syria, Vitellius, removed the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate, who was accused of misconduct, and sent him back to Rome. Vitellius appointed his friend Marcellus to take care of affairs in Judea. He also deposed the powerful High Priest Caiaphas and replaced him with his brother-in-law Jonathan. One year later, while visiting Jerusalem, Vitellius replaced Jonathan with his brother Theophilus.
