ANANIAS

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 913 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ALM-ANC
ANANIAS , the Gr. form of Hananiah, or Ananiah, a name occurring several times in the Old Testament and Apocrypha (Neh. 23, 1 Ck. xxv. 23, Tob. v. 12. &c.), and three times in the New Testament.
Special
  mention need be made only of the bearers of the name in the New Testament. (1) A member of the first
Christian
  community, who, with his wife Sapphira, was miraculously punished by
Peter
  with sudden death for hypocrisy and falsehood (Acts v. 11o; cf. Josh. vii. 1 ff.).
(2) A
disciple
  at Damascus who figures in the story of the con-version and
baptism
  of
Paul
  (Acts ix. 1017, xxii. 1216).
(3) Son of Nedebaios (Jos. Ant. xx. 5. 2), a high priest who presided during the trial of
Paul
  at Jerusalem and Caesarea (Acts xxiii. 2, xxiv. 1-5). He officiated as high priest from about A.D. 47 to 59. Quadratus,
governor
  of Syria, accused him of being responsible for acts of violence. He was sent to Rome for trial (A.D. 52), but was acquitted by the emperor
Claudius
 . Being a friend of the Romans, he was murdered by the
people
  at the beginning of the Jewish war.
