In his life of Claudius, the Roman biographer Suetonius notes that the emperor expelled the Jews from Rome because they were making constant disturbances "at the instigation of Chrestus". Acts mentions Paul meeting Aquila and Priscilla at Corinth, recently arrived from Italy "because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome".
Since the Jews constantly made disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus, he expelled them from Rome.
