. Ancient Evidence for Jesus from Non-Christian Sources

Introduction

There are a few references to Jesus in 1st-century Roman
and Jewish sources. Documents indicate that within a few
years of Jesus' death, Romans were aware that someone
named Chrestus (a slight misspelling of Christus) had been
responsible for disturbances in the Jewish community in
Rome (Suetonius, The Life of the Deified Claudius 25.4).
Twenty years later, according to Tacitus, Christians in
Rome were prominent enough to be persecuted by Nero,
and it was known that they were devoted to Christus,
whom Pilate had executed (Annals 15.44). This knowledge
of Jesus, however, was dependent on familiarity with
early Christianity and does not provide independent
evidence about Jesus. Josephus wrote a paragraph
about Jesus (The Antiquities of the Jews 18.63ff.),
as he did about Theudas, the Egyptian, and other
charismatic leaders (History of the Jewish War 2.258-263;
The Antiquities of the Jews 20.97-99, 167-172),
but it has been heavily revised by Christian scribes,
and Josephus's original remarks cannot be discerned.

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there
will be false teachers among you. They will secretly bring in
destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, and
will bring swift destruction on themselves (2 Peter 2:1).
