its appointed sacrifice however there its appointed sacrifice however there was a certain mall of the Jewish nation was a certain mall of the Jewish nation was a certain mall of the Jewish nation at Jerusalem who appeared to be very at Jerusalem who appeared to be very at Jerusalem who appeared to be very accurate in the knowledge of the law his accurate in the knowledge of the law his accurate in the knowledge of the law his name was Simon this man got together an name was Simon this man got together an name was Simon this man got together an assembly while the king was absent at assembly while the king was absent at assembly while the king was absent at Caesarea and had the insolence to accuse Caesarea and had the insolence to accuse Caesarea and had the insolence to accuse him as not living holily and that he him as not living holily and that he him as not living holily and that he might justly be excluded out of the might justly be excluded out of the might justly be excluded out of the temple since it belonged only to native temple since it belonged only to native temple since it belonged only to native Jews but the general of Agrippa's army Jews but the general of Agrippa's army Jews but the general of Agrippa's army informed him that Simon had made such a informed him that Simon had made such a informed him that Simon had made such a speech to the people so the king sent speech to the people so the king sent speech to the people so the king sent for him and as he was sitting in the for him and as he was sitting in the for him and as he was sitting in the theater he bid him sit down by him and theater he bid him sit down by him and theater he bid him sit down by him and said to him with a low and gentle voice said to him with a low and gentle voice said to him with a low and gentle voice what is there done in this place that is what is there done in this place that is what is there done in this place that is contrary to the law contrary to the law contrary to the law but he had nothing to say for himself but he had nothing to say for himself but he had nothing to say for himself but begged his pardon so the king was but begged his pardon so the king was but begged his pardon so the king was more easily reconciled to him than one more easily reconciled to him than one more easily reconciled to him than one could have imagined as a steaming could have imagined as a steaming could have imagined as a steaming mildness a better quality in a king than mildness a better quality in a king than mildness a better quality in a king than anger and knowing that moderation is anger and knowing that moderation is anger and knowing that moderation is more becoming in great men than passion more becoming in great men than passion more becoming in great men than passion so he made Simon a small present and so he made Simon a small present and so he made Simon a small present and dismissed him now as Agrippa was a great dismissed him now as Agrippa was a great dismissed him now as Agrippa was a great builder in many places he paid a builder in many places he paid a builder in many places he paid a peculiar regard to the people of paratus peculiar regard to the people of paratus peculiar regard to the people of paratus for he erected a theater for them for he erected a theater for them for he erected a theater for them superior to many others of that sort superior to many others of that sort superior to many others of that sort both in sumptuousness and elegance as both in sumptuousness and elegance as both in sumptuousness and elegance as also an amphitheater built at vast also an amphitheater built at vast also an amphitheater built at vast expenses and besides these he built in
