Persecution of the Church by Jewish and Roman Authorities

Early Christians witnessed to the truth of Christ and some suffered persecution from both Jewish leaders and Roman authorities, Jewish leaders are not accepting Jesus as the Messiah, and they regard claims that Jesus is divine as blasphemous, because they believe that God alone can be fully divine.
Roman authorities are persecuting the Church because early Chrisians aften are refusing to offer savrifices to the Roman Emperator. Now roman authorities are interprating this refusal as disloyalty to the emperator, a crime punishable by death, that is a big problem for us...
