Only a roman ruler could legally order an execution, which is what the Jewish leaders wanted.
The Romans wanted the bodies on the crosses to be taken down before the Jewish sabbath.
John of Giscala, Simon bar Gora and Eleazar ben Simon were the main leaders of the Zealots.
The Roman leaders were known as Caesar.
These religious leaders were called the Kohanim or High Priests. In terms of regional and religious politics, they were called the Sadducees. Opposing them were the Pharisees or populist Jewish leaders that would eventually become the Rabbinate.
Christ had to be condemned to death by Pilate, the Roman governor, because the Jewish leaders did not have legal authority under Roman law to condemn a criminal to death.
Jewish people, I think.
The Jewish leaders that interpret God's will are called Mashiach.
It is important to understand what the political climate was in the first century. Rome was the first and last word on all things. Pontius Pilate was there as the long arm of the Roman Empire, ordered to keep peace among the locals. Jesus upset the Jewish leaders and Rabbis, not so much the Roman leaders in the area. But the Jewish leaders used their influence and the threat of civil unrest to provoke the Romans to put Jesus to death.
The Kohenim (priests), however, they weren't leaders of the Jewish people, they were in charge of the Temple.
The Roman authorities saw Jesus as a potential threat to their power and authority, especially after he was hailed as the King of the Jews. They also yielded to pressure from Jewish religious leaders who viewed Jesus as a blasphemer. Jesus' teachings and growing popularity created unrest among the people that the authorities wanted to quell.
A Jewish "leader" is a Rabbi which means teacher.
