Astonished, Jesus left Jerusalem to gather his followers in safety. He instructed them to go out and preach peace and restraint, this helped to deflate the zealot unrest in Judea. Pontius Pilate's wife converted to the Christian faith, and he became friendly to Jesus partly due to the relative stability and prosperity of Judea in comparison to Herod Antipater's domains. As Jesus' following grew his opponents in the Sanhedrin were frustrated and diminished. A message of brotherly love, personal accountability, non-aggression, charity, compassion to children, human rights, piety, separation of church and state, and governmental accountability to the people spread outwards from Judea in the following years.
On the accession of Gaius Ceasar (Caligula), Herod Agrippa I is dispatched to Batanea and opposed the spread of Christianity. After hearing the complaints against Jesus he immediately caused him to be sent to Caligula for judgement. Because of Agrippa's favor with the Princip, even Pilate could not prevent this. When Jesus arrived though Caligula was in the throws of his fevered illness, and being known as a miraculous healer was summoned to heal the Emperor. When Caligula recovered, Jesus mentally counseled the weakened and fearful man, and this intervention spared Rome from Caligula's insanity. Jesus returned to Judea, and Agrippa was ordered to cease his religious persecution. Caligula ruled for 45 years, beginning a period later known as "the First Era of Good Emperors". In this period Caligula encouraged the growth of Mauretania and Britain into Roman client states, and embellished Rome's trading network.
Jesus would make two more sea voyages with his disciples: one southern, and one northern. His greatest trip was the southern route down the Red Sea which took him to visit Egypt, Yemen, and thence to Gujurat. On his return, he stopped in Ethiopia where he reclaimed the Ark of the Covenant for the Temple. Near the end of his life Jesus took a second trip, along the Eastern Mediterranean Sea to visit the burgeoning congregations in Anatolia and Greece.
During the Passover in the thirty third year of Caligula's Reign Jesus was assassinated by Sicarii zealots for not having made Judea an independent kingdom. His wife, children, and some close friends left Judea, and made a tour of congregations in Italy and Gaul before settling in the mission Joseph of Arimathea established in Britain decades previously. Though many trials and tribulations would give injury throughout history, the Second Temple in which Jesus preached stands today, one of the wonders of the Classical Period, a monument to forgiveness and compassion, in one of the most prosperous and peaceful regions of the world.
