Why did the Religious leaders want Him put to death? They believed He was a sinner They wanted Him dead because he exposed them for what they were, elitists. They made rules and added laws that discouraged people. Jesus exposed them by eating with sinners and showing them the way to God. The Pharisees disdained Jesus for hanging around with sinners. It's all through the NT. He was ruining the Pharisees gig and publicly insulted them. They wanted Him gone. They baited Jesus looking for a way to be rid of him and they found it.

They (Pharisees) baited Jesus looking for a way to be rid of him and they found it.
Sadducees tried to help the Pharisees but left off speaking with Jesus with their sandals in their mouths.
