Rabbi Johanan ben Zakkai fled Jerusalem, in 68/69 AD, after the bloody Zealot Temple Siege in which the High Priest was slain; and before Vespasian was declared emperor. 40 years prior was 28/29 AD, the time of John the Baptist (Luke 3). Perhaps Rabbi Zadok had been fasting for 40 years, since being baptized by John ? 66.235.37.80 (talk) 14:38, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
