Pilate said, (not word for word) something like, this is the same man that you
welcomed just so many days ago and now you want him killed, explain this
insanity to me. The one previously speaking didn't know what to say, another
steps forward and says, you have not heard the worst of his crimes, he broke
our Sabbath laws.

Now granted how vague that is, but coupled with the notion that no one wanted
him until the temple incident occurred and he was arrested 3 days afterwards,
it is an easy step to believe that if he just went on a picnic that day instead
of ...

The lesson is clear and obvious and the solution well delineated.

Blasphemy and treason seem to me to be after-thoughts, or some other term on the
