Samuel the Sanhedrist
Scribe Sanhedrist who comes in delegation to admonish Jesus at Beautiful Water because of the Presence of Aglae.
One of the five responds:"I am Samuel the scribe. This one, he is the other scribe, Sadoc, and that one the Jew Eleazar, very well known and influential; this other is Callascebona (Calba Scheboua) the elder; and this last one to finish, Nahum. You get it? Nahum!" and the tone is quite emphatic.[1]It is probably him who is found at the table of Eli the Pharisee of Capernaum when, thanks to the miracle of Jesus who saved his grandson, the hostility becomes less strong.[2]
It may also be the same Samuel who finds himself in the valley of Mount Cherith and is addressed by Jesus regarding the dismissal of his wife and his adultery.[3]
Character and Appearance
An old man full of himself and endowed with a viper's tongue, it seems: At the end of the altercation Simon the Zealot (Apostle), Judean apostle, limits himself to saying:"What a shame! Your hypocrisy is so great that it shows and overflows and you drool like a slug on a pure flower. Get out of here and become a man because for now you are but drool. I recognize you, Samuel. You always have the same Heart. God forgives you, but go away, far from my Presence."[4]
Apostolic Career
He is part of the group that will act Against Jesus with the complicity of Judas.
