Theudas-Judas-Jesus

According to Gamaliel and Josephus there have been two Theudas "flowing with water" (Babtist). From the first can be meant John the Baptist (Matthias son of Margalot, the associate with revolutionary teacher Judas son of Zipporai). Actually these were mixed with each other:
Enlight Gamaleil:
Men of Israel, be cautious in deciding what to do with these men. Some time ago, Theudas came forward, claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. But he was killed and his whole following was broken up and disappeared. After him came Judas the Galilean (in 6 CE) at the time of the census; he induced some people to revolt under his leadership, but he too perished and his whole following was scattered. (Acts 5:36-8 NEB)
The principal source for the story of Theudas' revolt is Josephus, who wrote:
It came to pass, while Cuspius Fadus was procurator of Judea, that a certain charlatan, whose name was Theudas, persuaded a great part of the people to take their effects with them, and follow him to the Jordan river (between 44 and 46 AD) ; for he told them he was a prophet, and that he would, by his own command, divide the river, and afford them an easy passage over it. Many were deluded by his words. However, Fadus did not permit them to make any advantage of his wild attempt, but sent a troop of horsemen out against them. After falling upon them unexpectedly, they slew many of them, and took many of them alive. They also took Theudas alive, cut off his head, and carried it to Jerusalem.[3] (Jewish Antiquities 20.97-98
Jesus (Judas son of Zipporai) has also mixed with Judas from Galilean:
If we equate Theudas according to Gamaleil with John the Baptist, Judas from Galilee after him can be comparable with Judas son of Zipporai, because Gamaleil has told about the religious movements not militant.
