The teachings attributed to Jesus were very much in accord with the best of Roman values, but contrary to Roman religion. Jesus was a Jew and taught about the Jewish God.
The very early Christians were considered by the Romans to belong to a Jewish sect, and the Romans therefore considered the teachings to be no concern of theirs. Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) says, "The provincial governors declared themselves ready to listen to any accusation that might affect the public safety; but as soon as they were informed that it was a question not of facts but of words, a dispute relating only to the interpretation of the Jewish laws and prophecies, they deemed it unworthy of the majesty of Rome seriously to discuss the obscure differences that might arise among a barbarous and superstitious people."
