Mattathias ben Theophilus
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Mattathias ben Theophilus (c. 60 CE) was the Jewish High Priest (Kohen Gadol) [1] at the start of the Jewish Revolution, and was overthrown by Revolutionary forces.
A minority of scholars believe him to be the same as the Theophilus mentioned in the New Testament books of Luke (1:3) and Acts (1:1).[citation needed] One author argues that Mattathias ben Theophilus was the father of Josephus.[2]
