Jesus was crucified not because he annoyed the Jewish religious leaders, as has been popularly taught for years, but because Caesar’s goons were afraid he’d lead a revolt and try to take over Jerusalem. And they wanted to nip that one in the bud while communicating to the hoi polloi that making political noise could land you in hot water.

And this, in a nutshell, is why everyone was so baffled and upset by Jesus. Everybody, his followers, the general population, the two criminals whose company he was now keeping all expected something different from him. They wanted a messiah—which was as much a political term as a religious one. Everyone, including the Romans, thought Jesus was going to incite a rebellion to overthrow the Roman government.

In other words, they wanted Superman—not some humiliated peasant.
