Matthew 05:33-37 The Essene Connection?

Matthew 05:33-37
Whatever they [Essenes] say also is firmer than an oath; but swearing is avoided by them, and they esteem it worse than perjury for theysay that he who cannot be believed without [swearing by] God isalready condemned. (Josephus - War 2.8.6 135)

A complete set of cross references for Josephus and the New Testament is in The Comprehensive New Testament: http://www.cornerstonepublications.org/prod01.htm
