Some of the more important historical evidences of Jesus include the following: The first-century Roman Tacitus, who is considered one of the more accurate historians of the ancient world, mentioned superstitious “Christians” (from Christus, which is Latin for Christ), who suffered under Pontius Pilate during the reign of Tiberius. Suetonius, chief secretary to Emperor Hadrian, wrote that there was a man named Chrestus (or Christ) who lived during the first century (Annals 15.44).
Baadhi ya ushahidi wa kihistoria za ulimwengu wa kale, umetajwa kutokuwa na dhana ya Mungu “Wakristo” (kutoka kwa Christus, ambalo ni neno la kilatini kumaanisha Kristo), ambaye alitezeka chini ya Pilato wakati wa kiongozi Teberius. Suetonius, kama kinara mkuu wa mfalme Hadriana (Hadrian), aliandika kwamba, kulikuwa na mtu aliyeitwa Kristo (christus) ambaye aliishi wakati wa karne ya kwanza (Annals 15:44).
