Here is my video, "Why Crucify Jesus?" It is my examination of the political dynamics at play during Jesus' last week in Jerusalem. Why did the high priest, Caiaphas, decide that Jesus had to die and why did he want Pilate to order it done? Pilate was a very violent prefect who had executed many hundreds of Judeans already, perhaps far more. Why did Pilate refuse Caiaphas and insist Jesus was innocent? And what made Pilate finally yield to the demand? Why crucify Jesus?
