约瑟夫斯:

他这样描述耶稣：“那时，有一个聪明人，名叫耶稣。 而且他品行端正，为人所知。彼拉多谴责他被钉在十字架上并处死。 而那些成为他弟子的人并没有放弃他的弟子身份。 他们报告说他在被钉十字架后出现在他们面前并且他还活着。 因此，他也许就是先知所讲述的弥赛亚。”（他还谈到了施洗约翰的处决)。

Suetonius:

Suetonius was a Roman historian who mentioned Christ! In his writings, he said this, "Since the Jews constantly made disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus, he, by Emperor Claudius, expelled them from Rome." The word, "Chrestus", is a reference to the word for a Messiah.

Tacitus:

Tacitus was a Roman politician as well as a historian. He was extremely negative towards Christians, stating, "Nero fabricated scapegoats and punished with every refinement the notoriously depraved Christians… Their originator, Christ, had been executed in Tiberius’ reign by the governor of Judea, Pontius Pilatus."
