The high priests Joseph Ciaphas and his father in-law Annas were NOT the legitimate High Priests they were vassal priests apponted by Rome. Secondly the Sadducees (their sect name) who controlled the temple, as well as the people, unlike their ecclesiastical opponents the Pharisees, they did not really believe the scriptures were the word of God. They did not believe in a physical literal resurrection, angels, a real devil, etc.! They had created Temple coins so that when people came with their atonement sacrifices they would reject them and make the people buy them from them and to do so they had to use Temple Money (which cost a good profit...the sons of Ciaphas were the treasurers) this is why Jesus overturned the money lenders tables saying they made the House of prayer into a den of thieves.

In other words if He was Messiah and was allowed to survive He would cause the demise of their good thing...fortunately they did not believe the scriptures and inadvertently they caused His crucifixion.
