He began His public preaching's all around town with His plain and simple message. He reassured his fellow Jews his intent was not to undermine their traditional religion. "Do not think I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them- (The Bible, Matthew 5:17). The message was carried to speculative and argumentative Greeks, to disciplined and civilized or enslaved and impoverished Romans, to partially Romanized and civilized Celts in Gaul and Britain, to "the wild Irish," and to other Barbarians outside the boundaries of the "civilized world." The most important value according to Jesus was the transformation of the inner person. Jews focused more on strict obedience to the letters of the law and attention to rules and prohibitions. Jesus stated, "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets- (The Bible, Matthew 7:12). God, the father of Jesus who is viewed as the higher authority or extreme power, had a simple command " to love God and to love one another. "Love the lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."" The second is this " "Love your neighbor as yourself- (The Bible, Mark 12:30). Jesus outlined His moral concepts in the Sermon on the Mount: humility, charity, and brotherly love. .
Some people welcomed Jesus as the Messiah that would set forth God's kingdom on earth and save Israel from oppression. There were those who thought he was an impostor and subverter of the social order. There seems to be little in his teaching to threaten either the Jewish or the Roman establishment. Yet, Palestinian authorities saw Jesus as a possible revolutionist who could possibly change Jewish expectations of a messianic kingdom, and start a revolt against Rome. He was arrested by the Roman authorities and crucified by Pontius Pilot, the procurator, a common Roman penalty for criminal activities.
