It also made the Gentiles equally liable for Jesus' death too.  They wouldn't be able to say, "We didn't kill Jesus, the Jews did."

Another (semi-)related question.
How did Judas know where Jesus would be?
Gethsemane isn't mentioned at any other time in the gospels
An unanswered question is infinitely better than an unquestioned answer.

Because Judas was a follower of Jesus. Jesus probably said, "Hey, after passover, anybody want to go down to Gethsemane? There's a nice garden there, and I'd like to think." And Judas thought, "Note to self, pick up fish on the way home. Oh, and Jesus will be in the Garden of Gethsemane tonight..."

Jesus going to the bathroom isn't mentioned in any of the gospels.  I'm guessing that there would probably be one or two times He made poopie that weren't considered relevant to His ministry.

Why not Pilates?  I'm sure if all of the religious leaders had gone to Pilates class instead, they would have felt much better and been nicer people

The thing is the Jews hated the Romans more than Jesus

They're on record saying that Jesus represented a threat to the throne, and that they "have no king but Caesar".

Apparently they hated Jesus more that day.
This is the way Lackey gave it to me. All hail the power of Lackey!

That's part of my point.
Why would the religious leaders be willing to sell out their beliefs to kill Jesus if they could have done it themselves?

They were far more concerned with power than beliefs.

As I stated earlier, they were not allowed to execute anyone outside of Temple trespassers.  They broke the rules with Stephen.  They needed the Romans to execute Jesus legally.

Dude, there's been like a half dozen people presenting varying degrees of answers to this.
