Sadduk

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sadduk (also called "Zadok" or "Sadduk the Pharisee"), Hebrew צדיק ṣaddīq , righteous) was a Jewish rebel who, together with Judas the Galilean, revolted against Roman supremacy at the time of Jesus . The beginning of his political activities falls in the time of Coponius , who was the first Roman prefect in Judea and was responsible for this area from around 6 to 9 AD. The trigger for their rebellion was the census and property appraisal, which took place under Quirinius and met with great resistance from the population. They incited the people to resist the Romans.

According to Flavius ​​Josephus , he represented an ideological direction that he treated separately from the three traditional "philosophical schools" of the Jews (the Sadducees , the Pharisees and the Essenes ). He describes him as one of the spiritual fathers of a radical Pharisee who paved the way for Jewish national extremism and fanaticism.

These so-called " zealots " ("zealots") carried out terrorist attacks on representatives of the Roman system of rule. This eventually led to the rebellion of the Jews in AD 66, which ended in AD 70 with the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem and the Jewish state.
