That's not completely accurate though that only the Jewish persecuted the early Christians as Rome did indeed set them alight as human torches and fed them to the lions in the Roman arena of their amphitheatres. Please see foxes book of martyrs & 'What happened after acts' David Bercot. It did indeed begin by the Jews hands as we see Stephen the first martyr being stoned to death in the book of Acts. ( Acts 5:41; 6-7) https://www.earlychristianwritings.com/tacitus.html

Well...I did not have those books. I just did a word study.

Thanks for sharing though.
