Because the Jewish leadership wanted to kill Him , but dare not do it during the day as it was legally required because they were frightened of possible revolts by the many who in Jerusalem for the Passover. They were (rightly) scared of having their authority removed by the Romans because of Jesus' popularity:-

Mat 21:23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

Mat 21:24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

Mat 21:25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?

Mat 21:26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.

Mat 21:27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

The trial was illegal and was a kangaroo-court presided over by a hanging-judge ("We'll give you a fair trial and then we'll hang you.")

Jesus was arrested by the Jewish religious leaders, specifically the high priest and the Sanhedrin, who accused Jesus of blasphemy and handed him over to the Roman authorities, ultimately leading to his crucifixion.

First Jesus was sent to be tried by the Jews and their high priest , but as the Jews had no power to sentence anybody to death , they then sent Jesus to the roman governor Pontius Pilate , who then set Barabas free and sent Jesus to die on the cross. as it was prophesied ages ago.

A:Jesus was merely charged with claiming to be the King of the Jews, although this is not a claim attributed to Jesus during his prior ministry. Nothing in the gospel accounts suggests the case against Jesus was serious enough to be taken to the Sanhedrin, the supreme religious court of the land.

In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), the trigger for the arrest and execution of Jesus was the Cleansing of the Temple, when he overthrew the tables of the moneychangers.

John's Gospel moves the Cleansing of the Temple episode to the very beginning of Jesus' ministry and makes the resurrection of Lazarus the for the arrest and execution of Jesus. (John 12:19: "The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. ")

Jesus was arrested at midnight. He was arrested because he apparently raped a little girl. That also explains why he is naked in his photos because he likes eating aisians.
