The Pharisees and temple rulers wanted Jesus DEAD! He threatened their existence; they had come up with the perfect system. They made a bunch of rules (some were originally from God) that were impossible to obey perfectly; in fact, they themselves disobeyed quite often. But then, when people sinned, then they had no access to God, to ask for forgiveness. The people were 'charged' for their 'sins', and thus the rulers had everything - power, respect, money, and they were looked up to. Jesus brought a new theory, that everyone could now access God themselves, they didn't need hypocritical leaders to intercede for them, Jesus was now the interceder for all believers.

Who was the pilot who crucified Jesus?

There was no pilot who crucified Jesus. The man responsible for sentencing Jesus to his crucifixion was the Roman governor of Judea Pontius Pilate. Although he did not believe that Jesus deserved to be crucified, the people demanded it and he complied. However, after he allowed it, he washed his hands, symbolizing that he did not want to be acknowledged as the man responsible for Jesus' death.

Who pronounce Jesus sentence?

In Matthew chapter 27 (King James Version) begins the trial of Jesus. Although Pilate tried to absolve himself of responsibility (Pilate's wife tried to warn him) he agreed to the death of Jesus as a way to satisfy the Jews. Pilate was the Roman govenorof that area of Israel and didn't want any trouble from the people.It is interesting to note that although Pilate sentenced Christ Jesus to death, to show he didn't want any responsibility for the action he washed his hands in clean water from a bowl. That is where we get our expression "to wash our hands of (something)" whenwe don't want to absolve ourselves of responsibility.
