There you will find that <unk> was the first that persecuted this doctrine " . <unk> ( c . 240 – 320 ) also said that <unk> " first persecuted the servants of God " . as does <unk> <unk> . However , <unk> writes that , " since the Jews constantly made disturbances at the instigation of <unk> , he [ emperor Claudius ] expelled them from Rome " ( " <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> " ) . These expelled " Jews " may have been early Christians , although <unk> is not explicit .
