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.
