At that time, he angered many Jewish people with his teachings and claiming to be the son of god. The Jewish people brought Jesus to Pontius Pilate and saying that he is a disturber for public peace and blasphemy.
However, Pontius Pilate thought that Jesus was not guilty with any crime, but at the same time, he doesn't want to disappoint the Jewish people. So he examined Jesus privately and declared him innocent. But the Jewish people wouldn't take no as a answer. The Jewish leaders immediately replied that His teaching had stirred up all the people from Galilee to Jerusalem. Pontius Pilate tried to make a solution by sending the case to Herod Antipas, but he refused to make any decisions for the case. So Pontius Pilate, so he gathered all the Jewish leaders and chief priest and announced that he is not worthy of death. But each year, the Roman Governor gets to grant pardon. So Pilate offered two criminals to release, which were Jesus and a man named Barabbas who was a murderer. The crowd yelled for the release of Barabbas instead of Jesus. Pilate had no choice or there will be a insurrection. Before ordering the final command to sentence Jesus to death, Pilate washed his hands before the multitude, as a sign that he was innocent of the crime. Pilate then ordered his soldiers to scourge Jesus, no doubt hoping that this would be enough to satisfy the people. But the priests cried for His death all the more, and, fearing that the political charge of treason might be considered insufficient, returned to their first accusation of blasphemy. They quoted the law of Moses , which punished blasphemy with stoning, declared that He must die, "because He made Himself out to be the Son of God". So the Roman soldiers nailed him to a cross, while all the Jewish mocked and cursed at him. The solider hung Jesus on the cross for 3 hours until he died.
