Whatever the Jews thought, he was convicted under Roman law, by a Roman judge, and put to death by Romans, in a Roman manner.
And if he was claiming to be King of the Jews, he was probably guilty, according to Roman law, of insurrection. That was the charge, after all, indicated by the placard attached to his cross. (Mark 15:26) 
Fair enough...but it was the Pharasees who wanted him dead, but didn't have the authority to do so. |

No, it's not a 'nitpicking argument at best'.
Had the Jews executed Him, they would have stoned Him.
Do you know the [major] implication of that, Kate?
Hint: qv Psalm 22.

Had the Jews executed him, the Romans would've stomped the province flat.

The details of Jesus crucifixion matches some of the lines from Psalm 22... why do you consider this [major]? | | |
