pontius

No Roman handed Jesus over to the Jews. It was the Jews who handed Jesus over to the Romans. An ad hoc militia from the Temple (John 18:3) were the first ones who arrested Jesus and took Him to a priest (John 18:13). The Romans wouldn't let foreign authorities execute people. They reserved that right to themselves. Roman execution of a foreigner meant crucifixion. The religious authorities wanted Jesus dead, but they couldn't execute Him, so they had to pressure the Roman authority (Pontius Pilate) to do it for them. The Bible tells about it quite elegantly.

John 18:28-32

28Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas* [high priest] unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

29Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

30They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee. *

31Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:*

32That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.* [Meaning crucifixion]
