The fuckers are not above lying, you know.
Regardless of their positions the Jews despised the Romans as they did most all who occupied their lands, it only seems logical that Antipas resented Pilate for no other reason than what he represented. It's known that the Romans had no love for the Jews either, seems the possibility of dislike between the two is more likely than not.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
