I mean, the bottom left isn't why he died, but it probably isn't too far off from why the Sadducees wanted to have him executed.
Yep, very far from the actual teachings of the Bible.
Also, who was the ruling class that wanted him dead?
If not being facetious, the ruling Jewish religious leaders wanted Jesus dead because he called out their hearts for being wicked, looking past the external look of righteousness, which threatened their power.
And for driving the money changers out of the temple with a whip.
Also, they wanted him dead for his many blatant claims to Divinity. Modern scholarship tries to claim that this was tacked on in later times, but all of the canonical Gospels are full of Jesus making references to His Godhood in ways that His contemporaries would understand.
Was it claiming to be divine or that combined with not being the warrior Messiah they wanted to destroy the Romans and restore their sovereignty?
Sadducees
