Best Answer

The short version:

The scribes and Pharisees wanted him dead because they were loosing their power because of what Jesus had said against them. They took him to the Sanhedrin to try him for blasphemy, and found him guilty. Under Roman rule the Sanhedrin could not use capitol punishment, and so the Sanhedrin took him to Pilate. The Romans did not consider blasphemy a sin and would not have killed Jesus for it. The Sanhedrin knew this and changed their story claiming that Jesus was supporting anarchy and treason by claiming himself king of the jews, which the Romans would put someone to death for. Pilate was going to release Jesus, but was blackmailed into letting the mob have Jesus.
