Roman historian thiab orator Tacitus (c. 55–120 AD) sau tias, tom qab hluav taws ntawm Rome nyob rau hauv 64 AD, Nws tau hais tias qhov hluav taws kub tau pib ntawm Nero cov lus txib:
“Yog li ntawd, kom tshem tau daim ntawv qhia, Nero fastened lub txim thiab ua rau cov exquisite tsim txom nyob rau hauv ib chav kawm ntxub rau lawv abominations, hu ua Christians los ntawm cov pej xeem. Tswv Yexus, los ntawm leej twg lub npe muaj nws keeb kwm, raug kev txom nyem loj heev thaum lub sij hawm kav Tiberius ntawm tes ntawm ib tug ntawm peb procurators, Pontius Pilate, thiab ib qho kev ntseeg siab tshaj plaws, yog li tshawb xyuas rau lub sijhawm, rov tawg tawm tsis yog hauv Yudas xwb, thawj qhov ntawm qhov phem, tab sis txawm nyob hauv Rome, qhov twg txhua yam kev txaj muag thiab txaj muag los ntawm txhua qhov chaw hauv ntiaj teb pom lawv qhov chaw thiab ua neeg nyiam. Raws li, ib tug raug ntes yog thawj zaug ntawm tag nrho cov uas tau lees txim txhaum; thaum ntawd, ntawm lawv cov ntaub ntawv, ib tug neeg coob coob raug txim, tsis muaj ntau qhov kev ua txhaum ntawm kev tua lub nroog, raws li kev ntxub ntxaug rau noob neej. Kev thuam ntawm txhua yam tau ntxiv rau lawv txoj kev tuag. Npog nrog cov tawv nqaij ntawm cov tsiaj nyaum, lawv raug torn los ntawm dev thiab perished, los yog raug ntsia saum ntoo khaub lig, los yog raug puas tsuaj rau cov nplaim taws thiab hlawv, los ua lub teeb pom kev hmo ntuj, thaum nruab hnub twb tas lawm. Nero muab nws lub vaj rau lub spectacle, thiab tau ua yeeb yam hauv circus, thaum nws koom nrog cov neeg hnav khaub ncaws ntawm lub tsheb thauj neeg mob lossis sawv ntsug ntawm lub tsheb. Li laj laj, txawm rau cov neeg txhaum cai uas tsim nyog rau txim loj heev thiab ua piv txwv, muaj tshwm sim muaj kev khuv leej; vim nws tsis yog, zoo li nws, rau pej xeem zoo, tab sis kom glut ib tug neeg siab phem, tias lawv raug puas tsuaj.” (Annals 15.44.)
Cov kws tshawb fawb lees paub Tacitus yog ib tus kws sau keeb kwm zoo tshaj plaws ntawm nws lub sijhawm. Ua ib tug pom tseeb tawm tsam ntawm Christianity, qhov uas nws hais txog Yexus’ Kev raug ntsia saum ntoo Khaublig li no yog suav tias yog qhov muaj zog heev los ntawm cov qauv keeb kwm qub. Lwm tus, arguably ntau dua, Qhov tseem ceeb yog qhov kev lees paub ntawm Nero txoj kev tsim txom ntawm cov ntseeg hauv Rome tom qab hluav taws ntawm 64 AD. Raws li tau hais tseg lwm qhov, qhov kev tshwm sim no pab qhia hnub ntxov ntawm Phau Tshiab cov ntaub ntawv lawv tus kheej.
Ib txhia hais tias Tacitus tsuas yog coj nws tus account los ntawm cov ntseeg Vajtswv: tab sis qhov tseeb tias nws tsis paub txog cov lus qhuab qhia Christian, saib lawv es yog ib tug obnoxious cult, ua rau qhov no tsis tsim nyog. Ntxiv mus, nws ib txwm ua tib zoo saib xyuas hauv nws Annals kom paub qhov txawv ntawm cov lus qhia tseeb thiab cov uas nws suav tias yog tsim tshaj qhov tsis txaus ntseeg, siv cov lus xws li, 'Nws hais tias,’ 'Ib txhia tau muab tso rau hauv cov ntaub ntawv,’ lwm. rau mloog, thiab txawm, 'Kuv tau ua raws li feem ntau ntawm cov keeb kwm,’ los yog 'cov tub ceev xwm tshaj plaws thiab muaj kev ntseeg siab,’ hauv thaj chaw uas nws lees paub tias muaj qee qhov kev tsis sib haum xeeb. Tiamsis nws sau txog Yexus’ crucifixion raws li qhov tseeb, tsis muaj qualification dab tsi.
Yog tias muaj kev tsis ntseeg txog qhov tseeb txog Yexus’ tuag, Tacitus yuav tsis tshua muaj caij nyoog los hais li ntawd; thiab, raws li ib tug Roman historian, nws yuav tau npaj nkag mus rau Imperial archives.
