Resumen

Este trabajo tiene por objeto comprender cómo Josefo veía a Jesús, cómo
a sus figuras comparativas y constatar si Jesús encaja en la categoría de “profeta de
signos” evidenciada por el propio Josefo. La categoría de profeta de signos ha sido
establecida con anterioridad por estudiosos como Barnett. El inicio y el propósito
de los movimientos iniciados por varios profetas de signos servirán como matriz
para analizar el movimiento de Jesús. Según Josefo, Jesús reunió a dos grupos de
seguidores antes de ser ejecutado. Por muy negligente que fuera Josefo, tal hecho
sería motivo para la crucifixión de Jesús. Esta razón en sí podría haber sido un signo
escatológico típico, tal y como habían prometido otros Profetas de Signos. Jesús reunió a una multitud y los condujo a Jerusalén, terminando con su ejecución, un hecho típico de tales profetas carismáticos en este período de tiempo. Este examen
requiere una lectura minuciosa del Testimonium Flavianum (TF), así como una
lectura comparativa con otros pasajes de profetas de signos.
