Did Pontius Pilate execute Jesus for teaching his followers that taxes violate God’s commandment, “Thou shall not steal?”

FOR A REFRESHING, INSIGHTFUL VIEW OF JESUS AS A
MAN OF IMPECCABLE CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY
Did Pontius Pilate execute Jesus for teaching his followers that taxes
violate God’s commandment, “Thou shall not steal?” At the time Jesus
was executed the number of his disciples was increasing daily as he
worked miracles of healing among the people of Galilee and Judea. Tax
collectors had abandoned their duties to follow him. Some of his disciples,
endeavoring to live in accordance with the principles Jesus taught, may
have begun resisting Caesar’s tax. The principles of righteous living Jesus
preached and practiced precluded participating in Rome’s taxation scheme,
whether as collector, taxpayer or beneficiary. Those principles endure.

In addition to being governor, Pontius Pilate was the Roman prefect or
procurator of taxes for Judea, a position somewhat analogous to a District
Director of the Internal Revenue Service here in the United States today.
He obviously dare not tolerate anyone preaching anti-tax rhetoric within his
jurisdiction, lest he lose his vaunted position and perhaps even lose his
head. The pragmatic course of action was to crucify Jesus, which he did.
