As therefore Ananus was of such a disposition, he thought he had now a good opportunity, as Festus was now dead, and Albinus was still on the road; so he assembled a council of judges, and brought before it the brother of Jesus the so-called Christ, whose name was James, together with some others, and having accused them as law-breakers, he delivered them over to be stoned.
Kung gayon, dahil si Ananus ay may naturang disposisyon, naisip niyang siya ay may magandang pagkakataon, yamang si Festus ay yumao na, at si Albinus ay nasa paglalakbay pa rin; kaya binuo niya ang isang konseho ng mga hukom, at dinala sa kanila ang kapatid na lalaki ni Hesus na tinatawag na Kristo, na ang pangalan ay Santiago, kasama ang ilang mga iba pa, at inakusahan sila bilang mga rebelde sa batas, at hinatulan sila upang mamatay sa pamamagitan ng babato.
