The Roman had religious tolerance as long as the religion keep peace. Jesus saying He was God and the king of the Jews was a threat to the Roman power. Also, Jesus was doing many things the Jewish high priests thought was blasphemy. The combination of the two lead to His death. There also are man y other reasons.

Who was the judge that the Romans brought Jesus to?

Jesus was brought from Caiaphas' house to appear before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea. The Jewish leaders charged Jesus with subversion of both Israel and Rome. Two of their charges were designed especially to get Pilate's attention. The first was that Jesus opposed paying taxes to Caesar and that Jesus claimed to be king. Finding no fault in Him, Pilate summoned Jesus into Herod's palace and questioned Him further. In the course of the conversation, Pilate learned Jesus was a Galilean and was under Herod's jurisdiction. So Pilate sent Jesus to Herod, who had heard about Jesus and wanted to see Him. Herod had Jesus dressed in a robe and sent back to Pilate. When Jesus came back, Pilate told the Jewish leaders that neither he nor Herod could find Jesus guilty of a crime that brought with it the death penalty.

What is the relationship between Pilate and Herod?

Apparently not much of a relationship. Pilate was Governor of Judea. Herod Antipas was district ruler of neighboring Galilee. (There were many other in the line of Herod's." Actually Pilate and Herod had been enemies, possibly because of certain accusations that Herod had leveled against Pilate. But on the last day of Jesus' earthly life, when Jesus was brought before Pilate; Pilate had heard that Jesus was a Galilean. Herod was visiting in Jerusalem at the time; so Pilate sent Jesus to Herod Antipas, for Pilate had experienced trouble with the Galileans. This move on Pilate's part pleased Herod and they became friends. Acts 4:27 connects the two rulers as colluding against Jesus.

Matthew 26:57 says that after jesus was arrested they took him away to Caiphas first. John 28:13 says that after Jesus was arrested they took him away to Annas first. After Jesus was examined by either Caiphas (Luke 26) or by Annas (John 28), He was then brought to the Sanhedrin. After the Sanhedrin, Jesus was brought to Pontius Pilate. After Pontius Pilate, Jesus was taken to Herod, tetrarch off Galilee, who was attending the Passover at Jerusalem.


Who was first Jesus or the Romans?

It depends on what you mean by "come before". Timewise, the Romans were established many years before Jesus. However in the Bible the term "come before" means that Jesus had to stand before the Romans, that is, Pilate, for judgement as Pilate was the highest Roman official in the city and he was the only one who could pass a death sentence.


WHY DID PONTIUS PILATE EXECUTE JESUS?

Pontius Pilate did not want to have Jesus crucified. The Sanhedrin (a Jewish priestly court) accused Jesus of blasphemy in relation to Mosaic Law. Some of its members brought Jesus before Pilates accusing him of sedition against Rome for opposing the payment of taxes and for saying that he was a king. Pilates did not think that Jesus was a threat. He tried to save Jesus by using a custom of releasing one prisoner for Passover (a Jewish festival). He brought Barabbas, a criminal and told the crowd to choose between him and Jesus. The crowd demanded Barabbas to be freed and Jesus to be crucified.
