Paragraph 2. JESUS DIED CRUCIFIED

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

596
The
religious authorities in Jerusalem were not unanimous about what stance to take
towards Jesus.³⁸⁰ The Pharisees threatened to excommunicate his
followers.³⁸¹ To those who feared that “everyone will believe in
him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our holy place and our nation”,
the high priest Caiaphas replied by prophesying: “It is expedient for you
that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not
perish.”³⁸² The Sanhedrin, having declared Jesus deserving of
death as a blasphemer but having lost the right to put anyone to death, hands
him over to the Romans, accusing him of political revolt, a charge that puts
him in the same category as Barabbas who had been accused of
sedition.³⁸³ The chief priests also threatened Pilate politically so
that he would condemn Jesus to death.³⁸⁴
