Early in the morning, people dragged Jesus to the palace of the Roman governor.
They asked for Jesus to be charged by Pilate outside the palace because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover. These people may have kept the religious rituals, but they did not know the will of God.
It was not long ago that they witnessed the miracle of Jesus feeding five thousand people with 5 loaves and 2 fish. They were the ones that wanted to make Jesus King and those who shouted hosanna, but now they betrayed Jesus and were crying out to kill Him.
If our faith is not focussed on God's will but our own wills, we will also have the possibility of betraying Jesus and killing him again on the cross like them.
