Best Answer

The Zealots were an extremist Jewish sect that existed during the first century CE. They were opposed to the traditional power group headed by Ananus and insisted that the high priest be chosen by lot from a list of ordinary people. During the Jewish War of 66-70 CE, they were considered particularly tyranical and, even while under external attack by the Romans, civil war continued within Jerusalem between the Zealots and its opponents.
