Jesus was turned over to the Roman leader Pontius Pilate based on an accusation of claiming to be King of the Jews.
> According to the New Testament, Jesus was brought to Pilate by the [|Sanhedrin], who had arrested Jesus and questioned him themselves. The Sanhedrin had, according to the Gospels, only been given answers by Jesus that they considered blasphemous pursuant to Mosaic law, which was unlikely to be deemed a capital offense by Pilate interpreting Roman law.[|[14]] The Gospel of Luke[|[15]] records that members of the Sanhedrin then took Jesus before Pilate where they accused him of sedition against Rome by opposing the payment of taxes to Caesar and calling himself a king. Fomenting tax resistance was a capital offense.[|[16]] >
 * According to the [|canonical] Christian Gospels, Pilate presided at the trial of Jesus and, despite stating that he personally found him not guilty of a crime meriting death, handed him over to crucifixion. Pilate is thus a pivotal character in the [|New Testament] accounts of Jesus.
