Detailed explanation-1: -9. How did Jesus’ message threaten the Roman administration? How did they respond? The Romans translated Jesus’ preachings about a united after-life and assumed that this was competition to the empire, so the provice leader, Pontius Pilate, had Jesus crucified.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why were the Romans especially concerned about law and order? Rome had recently weathered a number of civil wars and slave rebellions and it was an enormous slave-holding society.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-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.
