Detailed explanation-1: -Earlier Jesus told his listeners, “render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.”-Matthew 22:21 (NASB). Jesus was clearly teaching obedience to the Roman laws and also to obey God’s laws.
Detailed explanation-2: -The whole assembly rose and took Jesus to Pilate. They accused Jesus of subverting the nation, opposing Roman taxes, and claiming to be Messiah, a king.
Detailed explanation-3: -When Jesus was born, Caesar Augustus was the emperor of Rome. He was the adopted son of Julius Caesar, and he ruled as the emperor of Rome for 45 years. The word “Augustus” means “the exalted". Caesar was not a follower of Christianity, and believed himself to be a god.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Roman historian and senator Tacitus referred to Jesus, his execution by Pontius Pilate, and the existence of early Christians in Rome in his final work, Annals (written ca. AD 116), book 15, chapter 44.
