   It was Not the method of execution for crimes as you think, for Jesus   
   committed no crime worthy of a death penalty under the Roman law, which was   
   very specific in such matters. Plus this point was very clearly stated by   
   Pilate as he washed his hands of the whole affair and did so openly and   
   publicly.
