In most depictions of Jesus he is wearing spiked crown. If this is true what was the point if he was getting nailed to a cross anyway? Or was it just vindictavness ? (lemmy.world)

vindictive

he wasn't really saying he was king of the Jews, he was basically saying I Am.. And only God or the Messiah is able to make such a claim. This is why the Jewish leaders didn't try to stop the Romans from executing him for the crimes of basically saying that religion is wrong.
