Deep dives
The Events Leading to the Crucifixion
The execution of Jesus, a prominent figure from Nazareth, was primarily driven by Jewish leaders who perceived him as a threat due to his teachings and large following. On Thursday night, they devised a plan to have him executed on blasphemy charges, but since they lacked the authority for capital punishment, Jesus was handed over to Roman officials, Pilate and Herod. Although the Roman authorities found him not guilty, they succumbed to the pressure of the Jewish leaders and ordered his crucifixion to prevent potential unrest. This event set the stage for the Resurrection, marking a significant turning point in religious history.
