Leaders in Jerusalem arrested Jesus primarily because they viewed him as a threat to their religious authority and the stability of their society. His growing popularity among the people, his radical teachings, and actions, such as the cleansing of the Temple, challenged their power and the established religious order. Additionally, they were concerned that his claims of being the Messiah could incite unrest against Roman rule, prompting them to take action to eliminate what they perceived as a dangerous influence.
