Theu'das. (God-given). The name of an insurgent, mentioned in Gamaliel's speech, before the Jewish council, Acts 6:35-39, at the time of the arraignment, of the apostles. He appeared, according to Luke's account, at the head of about four hundred men. He was, probably, one of the insurrectionary chiefs, or fanatics, by whom the land was overrun, in the last year of Herod's reign. Josephus speaks of a Theudas, who played a similar part in the time of Claudius, about A.D. 44; but the Theudas mentioned by St. Luke must be a different person, from the one spoken of by Josephus.
