He was taken before the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate who tried him for treason but couldn’t find him guilty. So he made the crowd choose whether to release him or a Jewish freedom fighter.

what is a key event that happened on Maundy Thursday?
Jesus tells the disciples to eat the bread (his body) and drink the wine (his blood) and repeat this ritual in memory of him
explain why Pontius Pilate (the Roman ruler) would have thought claiming to be ‘King of the Jews’ was worse than claiming to be ‘the Son of God’
‘KING of the Jews’ would have been considered a threat to Roman authority. To establish yourself as King, and have people treat you as such, would be worrying to the Romans in case the ‘king’ led a rebellion and tried to overthrow the Roman rulers.
The Romans didn’t care about blasphemy as they didn’t believe in the same God as the Jews, so this was not a concern for them.
