Caesar Tiberius born Tiberius Claudius Nero at 42 BCE who was the second Emperor of Rome after the death of Augustus at 14 AD/ CE until his own death at 37 AD/ CE should be notified for the developments in Judea therefore he should be aware of Jesus Christ's existence and fate. Emperor Augustus who died in AD 14 was the Emperor only during Jesus' early life. He would probably not have heard anything about Jesus, since Jesus' ministry did not begin until well after his death. Tiberius who succeeded Augustus , died in 37AD and Jesus ministry began around 29-30AD. It is possible that Tiberius heard about Jesus, although, since Jesus was executed as a common criminal, contrary to Roman law (since Pilate himself admitted he had done no crime worthy of death), Pilate may have wished to suppress knowledge of this event. It is doubtful whether each and every execution would have been reported to the emperor, since the Romans executed thousands in this manner. There were also a number of other rabbis and teachers in Jesus' time, as well as before and after Him. Since Jesus Himself made it clear that 'my kingdom is not of this world.' it is possible nothing was reported about Him. Certainly Tiberius would have been notified of anything significant. It is debatable whether Jesus would have interested the Romans from their perspective.

∙ 8y agoNo. Not only did Tiberius not hear of the resurrection of Jesus, it seems that none of his contemporaries did either. Not one of the contemporary authors and historians ever mentioned the resurrection of Jesus, not even Philo of Alexandria, who is considered certain to have done so had he known of it. Without any written testimony or reliable witnesses travelling to Rome, Tiberius could never have known of the resurrection.

How did Caesar Augustus feel about condemning Jesus to death?
Caesar Augustus died in 14 CE and was succeeded by Tiberius, who lived until 37 CE. So Augustus was long dead at the time attributed to the death of Jesus. There is no evidence that Tiberius ever knew about Jesus being condemned to death. The gospels say that the local Roman governor was reluctant to condemn Jesus to death, but some say that this was said in order for the gospels not to appear anti-Roman.
Why Jesus appeared to Peter privately?
Jesus did not ever appear to Peter privately after His resurrection.
What resemblance does jesus' resurrection have with England?
Jesus and England have no resemblance what so ever. Only thing is England is a christian country.
What do you learn from Jesus resurrection?
Jesus arose on the third day that is called Easter. It shows the victory over death for ever.
Who was seen with Jesus after his resurrection?
The four gospels and Acts of the Apostles provide various different versions of Jesus meeting some of his followers after his resurrection, but none of them makes any mention of any independent witnesses ever seeing Jesus with any of his followers.
Which Roman emperors persecuted Jews?
There were no two Roman emperors that persecuted Jesus. In fact, it would be accurate to say that no Roman emperor ever persecuted Jesus. Although Jesus was executed during the reign of Tiberius, Tiberius himself, more than likely never heard of him. Underlings passed judgement and sentences of non- citizens in the provinces and Jesus was not a Roman citizen.
Why is Jesus resurecction important to Christians today?
The resurrection of Jesus is the basis for Christianity; without it Christianity would not exist in its present form, if at all. So the resurrection is just as important today as it ever was.
Was Caesar a Christian?
Caesar Augustus, the first emperor in the ancient Roman Empire, issued an order which fulfilled a biblical prophecy made 600 years before he was born.The prophet Micah had foretold that the Messiah would be born in the tiny village of Bethlehem:"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.'" (Micah 5:2, NIV)The Gospel of Luke tells us that Caesar Augustus ordered a census taken of the entire Roman world, possibly for tax purposes. Palestine was part of that world, so Joseph, earthly father of Jesus Christ, took his pregnant wife Mary to Bethlehem to register. Joseph was from the house and line of David, who had lived in Bethlehem.Historians agree that Caesar Augustus was one of the most successful Roman emperors. Born in 63 B.C., he reigned as emperor for 45 years, until his death in A.D. 14. He was the grand nephew and adopted son of Julius Caesar and used the popularity of his great uncle's name to rally the army behind him.Caesar Augustus brought peace and prosperity to the Roman empire. Its many provinces were governed with a heavy hand, yet with some local autonomy. In Israel, the Jews were allowed to maintain their religion and culture. While rulers like Caesar Augustus and Herod Antipas were essentially figureheads, the Sanhedrin, or national council, still held power over many aspects of daily life.Ironically, the peace and order established by Augustus and maintained by his successors helped in the spread of Christianity. The extensive network of Roman roads made travel easier. The Apostle Paul carried his missionary work westward over those roads. Both he and the Apostle Peter were executed in Rome, but not before they had spread the gospel there, causing the message to fan out on Roman roads to the rest of the ancient world.Caesar Augustus' Accomplishments:Caesar Augustus brought organization, order, and stability to the Roman world. His establishment of a professional army ensured that insurrections were put down quickly. He changed the way governors were appointed in the provinces, which reduced greed and extortion. He launched a major building program, and in Rome, paid for many projects from his own personal wealth. He also encouraged art, literature, and philosophy. Caesar Augustus' Strengths:He was a daring leader who knew how to influence people. His reign was marked by innovation, yet he retained enough traditions to keep the populace satisfied. He was generous and left much of his estate to soldiers in the army. To the extent possible in such a system, Caesar Augustus was a benevolent dictator. Caesar Augustus' WeaknessesCaesar Augustus worshiped the pagan Roman gods, but even worse, he allowed himself to be worshiped as a living god. Although the government he set up gave conquered provinces like Israel some local control, it was far from democratic. Rome could be brutal in enforcing its laws. The Romans did not invent crucifixion, but they used it extensively to terrorize their subjects. Life Lessons:Ambition, when directed toward worthwhile goals, can accomplish much. However, it is important to keep our ego in check. When we are placed in a position of authority, we have a duty to treat others with respect and fairness. As Christians, we are also called to observe the Golden Rule: "Do to others as you would have them do to you." (Luke 6:31, NIV)Hometown:Rome. Referenced in the Bible:Luke 2:1.

What was the name of Jesus' group?
We are not told what the followers of Jesus were first called, but not long after His resurrection we come across the name, "The Way". Possibly because Jesus was the "way" to God the Father in Heaven. Then later at the church in Antioch followers of Jesus were called Christian and have been known by that name ever since.
