Abstract
Josephus' story focuses on the high priest Ananus son of Ananus, his priestly family, and his wicked audacity: taking advantage of the absence of the governor, Ananus convened a court and executed James the Just. Albinus is involved only at the end of this story: When some Jews complained to the new governor about Ananus, Albinus became angry and threatened to punish him. After a brief opening notice about Albinus' arrival and conscientious efforts to stamp out the Sicarii, the author hears about various Jewish troublemakers, including something about a rich (former) high priest, Ananias, and his servants. This chapter focuses on a whole array of Jewish villains: Agrippa II, some violent high priests, Ananias (who again depends upon his wealth), and some gangsters who were relatives of Agrippa II. Finally, the chapter presents a paragraph about Albinus. Keywords:Agrippa II; Albinus; Ananus; high priest; Jews; Josephus' story; Sicarii
