They were the pharasees.
They tried to trick Jesus on a sabath.
The ordinary Jewish person played no real part in the death of Jesus. Those who were the political and religious leaders wanted Jesus removed as He was a threat to their understanding of religion and God. According to the New Testament, these leaders searched for any excuse to have Jesus condemned, even bringing forward witness who lied (Matthew 26:60). However, the Jewish leaders could not sentence anyone to death and so had to bring Jesus to the Roman governor, Pilate, for this to take place (John 18:31). Therefore, although it was Pontius Pilate who ordered the crucifixion of Jesus, it was the Jewish chief priests and elders who requested that this be done.
Every book in the New Testament names Jesus. Of course, Jesus is not mentioned in the Old Testament.
The New Testament refers to Jesus over 950 times.

Since Jesus is the son of God, He would be king of the Jews. Him being a king would make him a threat to King Ceaser, and the religious leaders feared that they would lose their positions.
According to the New Testament, Paul was not part of the inner circle of leaders of the Christian community in Jerusalem after the death of Jesus. He was a later convert to Christianity and had his own ministry.
They falsely charged Jesus of blasphemy. Mark 14:64
Jesus Christ is God/ Son of God. You can't get more religious then that. Jesus was born in Israel to the tribe of Judah and followed the true Law of Moses, but not any of the man made laws that the religious leaders had made up.
