At the top of Jesus' head was a sign that denoted His crime, "King of the Jews." He was executed for being a political rebel although unproven and untrue. Upon the cross were a thief and another social outcast who were being executed for crimes that today would not anywhere incur execution.

The Romans neither liked nor disliked Jesus. Jesus himself had very little contact with them. In fact, when it came time to arrest Jesus, the Romans didn't even know who he was. They needed someone (Judas) to point him out to them.

The Romans considered Christianity as a threat, rather than Jesus. The Christians, unlike with the pagan religions, were keen missionaries and sought to convert people. Christians made many converts and was spreading around the Roman Empire. Even rich people and imperial bureaucrats were becoming Christians. This was at times seen as a threat to the Roman state because Roman religion was considered to be a fundamental part of this state. There were alienations of periods of persecution and periods of toleration until Christianity was tolerated for good in 311-313 and it became state religion in 380.

The first persecutions targeted the imperial bureaucracy and/or the Christian clergy. The emperor Decius took this to a different level. In 250 he issued a decree which required the Christians to perform sacrifices to the Roman gods before a Roman official who certified that it had been performed. The intention was to test the loyalty of the Christians to the imperial state. Many Christians refused and preferred death or went into hiding. Some Christians complied. They were reviled by the Christians who had refused who considered them to have committed apostasy (disaffiliated from Christianity). The emperor Gallienus ended the Decian persecution in 250 by issuing an edict of toleration. The last and worse persecution was the Great Persecution which was started by the emperor Diocletian in 303. Christians were again required to perform sacrifices and the Christian clergy was imprisoned.

Why do you think the Romans viewed Jesus as a political threat?

The Romans did not view Jesus as a political threat. It was the Jewish priests who saw Jesus as a threat. When they presented charges of sedition against Jesus to the Roman governor he did not believe these charges and thought that he was innocent. He tried to save Jesus, but was forced to sentence him to death by the crowd.


How did the teachings of Jesus threaten the Romans?

The Romans did not see Jesus as a threat. To them he was an insignificant figure in a small backwater of the Roman Empire (Judea). Jesus was seen as a threat by the Jewish priests, not by the Romans.


Why did the roman government feel that Jesus was a threat?

They didn't. In fact the Romans didn't even know who Jesus was and you can be certain that if there was any suspicion about him, the Romans would have their spies watching him. The only Romans that Jesus came in contact with, previous to his Passion, were individuals, not representatives of the state. It was the ruling class of the Jews who believed Jesus to be dangerous and wanted him out of the way. That's why they brought charges against him. When it came time for them to arrest Jesus, the Romans had to have someone (Judas) show them who Jesus was. Pilate himself did not think Jesus was dangerous and tried to get him released from the charges. Pilate only condemned Jesus in order to prevent a riot.


Who told the Romans where Jesus was?

No one. The Romans weren't looking for Jesus. The Israeli religious leaders arrested Jesus, took Him to the Romans, handed Him over to them, and demanded that they (Romans) execute Him.


Why did the Romans fear Jesus?

The Roman authorities saw him as a potential Jewish nationalist leader because he also seemed to go against the cosy arrangement that the Romans had with the Jewish authorities. When the Romans heard that he had declared himself King of the Jews the were incredibly worried about insurrection.
