[quote=Anonymous]The actual charge is apparently lost to history, but strong evidence suggests that it was sedition (Jesus claiming to be king). Both Herod’s government and the Romans were afraid that the large crowds in the area for Passover would: 1. Crown Jesus king (Herod’s fear); and 2. Riot on behalf of Jesus and trigger violent clashes with Roman troops, displeasing Caesar (Pilate’s fear). He was a political hot potato and neither Herod nor Pilate wanted to be responsible for his execution, potentially running afoul of popular sentiment. But it turned out that the largely non local crowds in the area for Passover supported the increasingly harsh punishments Pilate suggested, all the way through execution. Political problem solved.[/quote]
