Excerpt from Jerusalem Destroyed, or the History of the Siege of That City by Titus, Abridged From Flavius Josephus: Together With Some Brief Notices of the Jews Since Their Dispersion to the Present Period If it excite astonishment to observe a mixed multitude, in the precincts of the temple, thus transported, with rage; the dissensions in the Sanhedrim the next day, when Paul pleaded his own cause before them, will not diminish it; for the strife and passion of the members of that sacred court arose to such a height, that Lysias, fearing that Paul should be pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the castle. This total want of decency and decorum in the highest ecclesiastical court in the world, marks, more strongly than a thousand arguments could do, the peculiarly ferocious temperament of the Jews; their unrestrained fury, and ungovernable passion; and detaches all respect from an assem bly, which we should otherwise have considered of the most august and dignified character While the interference of Lysias, a Roman tri bun'e, in interrupting those sacred proceedings, over which the high priest of the Jews was pre siding in person, proves, unequivocally, that all civil authority had passed away from this people.
