And while Claudius was still administering the affairs of the empire, it came to pass at the feast of the Passover that there arose at Jerusalem so great a sedition and tumult that, of those alone who were violently crowded together about the exits of the temple, thirty thousand Jews perished, trampled by one another; and the feast became a mourning to the whole nation, and a lamentation in every house. These things, word for word, says Josephus.
And Claudius appointed Agrippa, the son of Agrippa, king of the Jews, having sent out Felix as procurator of the whole country of Samaria and Galilee, and besides of what is called Peraea. And having himself administered the rule for thirteen years and eight months, he died, leaving Nero as successor to the sovereignty.
