The Evils That the Roman Empire Did in All the Gospels

Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 1:1-23 (selected verses)
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 “And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.”
7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt have I called my son.”
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly wrathful, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
18 “In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.”
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 Saying, “Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.”
21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, “He shall be called a Nazarene.”

Gospel of Mark

Mark 15:2-15
2 And Pilate asked him, “Art thou the King of the Jews?” And he answering said unto him, “Thou sayest it.”
3 And the chief Priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, “Answerest thou nothing? Behold how many things they witness against thee.”
5 But Jesus yet answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled.
6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
7 And there was one named Barabbas, who lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, “Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?”
10 (For he knew that the chief Priests had delivered him for envy.)
11 But the chief Priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
12 And Pilate answered, and said again unto them, “What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?”
13 And they cried out again, “Crucify him.”
14 Then Pilate said unto them, “Why, what evil hath he done?” And they cried out the more exceedingly, “Crucify him.”
15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

Gospel of Luke

Luke 23:1-25
1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a king.”
3 And Pilate asked him, saying, “Art thou the king of the Jews?” And he answered him, “Thou sayest it.”
4 Then said Pilate to the chief Priests and to the people, “I find no fault in this man.”
5 And they were the more fierce, saying, “He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.”
6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.
7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad, for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
9 Then he questioned with him in many words, but he answered him nothing.
10 And the chief Priests and Scribes stood, and vehemently accused him.
11 And Herod with his men of war set him at naught, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together; for before, they were at enmity between themselves.
13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief Priests, and the rulers, and the people,
14 Said unto them, “Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man, touching those things whereof ye accuse him.
15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
17 For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.”
18 And they cried out all at once, saying, “Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas,”
19 Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast in prison.
20 Pilate therefore willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them:
21 But they cried, saying, “Crucify him, crucify him.”
22 And he said unto them the third time, “Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him, I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.”
23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voices of them, and of the chief Priests prevailed.
24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

Gospel of John

John 19:1-16
1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
3 And said, “Hail king of the Jews:” and they smote him with their hands.
4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, “Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.”
5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe: and Pilate saith unto them, “Behold the man.”
6 When the chief Priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify him, crucify him.” Pilate saith unto them, “Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.”
7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”
8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid,
9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, “Whence art thou?” But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then saith Pilate unto him, “Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not, that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?”
11 Jesus answered, “Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.”
12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, “If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.”
13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat, in a place that is called the pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 And it was the preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, “Behold your King.”
15 But they cried out, “Away with him, away with him, crucify him.” Pilate saith unto them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief Priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.”
16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified: and they took Jesus, and led him away.

Acts – Persecution Under Herod and the Roman Authorities

Acts 12:1-23
1 Now about that time, Herod the King stretched forth his hands, to vex certain of the Church.
2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further, to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him, intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
5 Peter therefore was kept in
