At the top of Jesus' head was a sign that denoted His crime, "King of the Jews." He was executed for being a political rebel although unproven and untrue. Upon the cross were a thief and another social outcast who were being executed for crimes that today would not anywhere incur execution.

Why do you think the Romans viewed Jesus as a political threat?

The Romans did not view Jesus as a political threat. It was the Jewish priests who saw Jesus as a threat. When they presented charges of sedition against Jesus to the Roman governor he did not believe these charges and thought that he was innocent. He tried to save Jesus, but was forced to sentence him to death by the crowd.


How did the teachings of Jesus threaten the Romans?

The Romans did not see Jesus as a threat. To them he was an insignificant figure in a small backwater of the Roman Empire (Judea). Jesus was seen as a threat by the Jewish priests, not by the Romans.


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.


Why did the Romans fear Jesus?

The Roman authorities saw him as a potential Jewish nationalist leader because he also seemed to go against the cosy arrangement that the Romans had with the Jewish authorities. When the Romans heard that he had declared himself King of the Jews the were incredibly worried about insurrection.
