At this time it was that two great men, who were under the
jurisdiction of the king [Agrippa] came to me out of the region
of Trachonius, bringing their horses and their arms, and carrying
with them their money also; and when the Jews would force them to
be circumcised, if they would stay among them, I would not permit
them to have any force put upon them, but said to them,
"Every one ought to worship God according to his own
inclinations, and not to be constrained by force; and that these
men, who had fled to us for protection, ought not to be so
treated as to repent of their coming hither." And when I had
pacified the multitude, I provided for the men that were come to
us whatsoever it was they wanted, according to their usual way of
living, and that in great plenty also.
