VIII. JESUS, the son of Gamaliel, High -Priest of the Jews, successor to Jesus the son of Damnæus, and predecessor to Matthias the son of Theophilus. The two High-Priests, Jesus the son of Damnæus, and Jesus the son of Gamaliel, having each their party in the Temple, and the City, disputed sword in hand for the Pontificate. Agrippa, to put an end to this bloody contention, deposed them both, and placed Matthias, the son of Theophilus, in their room, in the year of Jesus Christ 64.
