The Pharisees came to the decision to sentence Jesus to death because he would not stop resisting. He resisted their demands to be quiet, to stop spreading the message of the one true God; He resisted their totally bias, self serving, bigoted, unjust laws; and like the multi-use of today’s smart devices which are now pointing out the obvious forms of malpractice happening due to the commandments of the constitution, Jesus pointed it out, every lie.
A bit of a coordinated event, but nonetheless, if He had just listened to these men who were considered the law and just kept himself silent, maybe He wouldn’t have had to endure such a death.
It was all his fault, right?
