Person
Judas of Galilee
Judas of Galilee was a Jewish leader who led resistance to the census of Quirinius when Judaea became a Roman province in 6 CE, teaching that paying tax to Rome meant accepting a human master in place of God. Josephus calls his movement a 'fourth philosophy' beside the Pharisees, Sadducees and Essenes and links it to later rebels against Rome.
