By these motives Ananus encouraged the multitude to go against the
zealots, although he knew how difficult it would be to disperse them, because
of their multitude, and their youth, and the courage of their souls; but
chiefly because of their consciousness of what they had done, since they
would not yield, as not so much as hoping for pardon at the last for those
their enormities. However, Ananus resolved to undergo whatever sufferings
might come upon him, rather than overlook things, now they were in such
great confusion. So the multitude cried out to him, to lead them on against
those whom he had described in his exhortation to them, and every one of
them was most readily disposed to run any hazard whatsoever on that account.
