There is no evidence that the Romans wanted to do this. Jesus was not a political but a religious leader. He stated to Pilate, 'my kingdom is not of this world.'

Pilate however gave in to the pressure put upon him by the Jews and gave the order for his execution, despite the fact that Pilate admitted Jesus was innocent.

Why might the Romans and the chief Jewish priests have felt threatened by Jesus?

The Romans did not feel threatened by Jesus in any way. At the time that Jesus lived the Romans didn't even know who he was. They did order his execution, but only because Pilate's hand was forced by the priests. The priests, on the other hand, could feel threatened by Jesus, as they considered his teachings heretical and if his movement gained too many followers, their positions could be endangered.


Who told the Romans where Jesus was?

No one. The Romans weren't looking for Jesus. The Israeli religious leaders arrested Jesus, took Him to the Romans, handed Him over to them, and demanded that they (Romans) execute Him.


Why did the roman government feel that Jesus was a threat?

They didn't. In fact the Romans didn't even know who Jesus was and you can be certain that if there was any suspicion about him, the Romans would have their spies watching him. The only Romans that Jesus came in contact with, previous to his Passion, were individuals, not representatives of the state. It was the ruling class of the Jews who believed Jesus to be dangerous and wanted him out of the way. That's why they brought charges against him. When it came time for them to arrest Jesus, the Romans had to have someone (Judas) show them who Jesus was. Pilate himself did not think Jesus was dangerous and tried to get him released from the charges. Pilate only condemned Jesus in order to prevent a riot.

As far as the Romans were concerned, Jesus of Nazareth was just another Jew who got in some sort of trouble and they had to carry out an execution. They did not even know who he was, as they needed someone to point him out to them before they could arrest him.

Who let Jesus be crucified in the cross?

If it is a question as to who ordered Jesus' punishment, this would belong to the Romans even though the New Testament account gives the Jews a heavy hand in forcing the Romans to go through with the execution. As concerns crucifixion specifically, such a method of execution does not accord with Jewish belief about the ways in which a person may be killed by the state. Therefore, that part is entirely Roman.
