Theudas
Archimandrite Nikifor’s Biblical Encyclopedia
(Acts 5:36)—a Jewish insurgent mentioned by Gamaliel as a man who claimed importance and attracted about four hundred followers; he was killed, and his adherents were dispersed. Josephus describes another Theudas who led a movement during the procuratorship of Fadus, more than a decade after Gamaliel’s speech would have occurred. They may be different men bearing the same common name, or Acts and Josephus may preserve distinct chronological traditions; the evidence does not justify silently identifying them.
