Yeah, and that's where history, real history comes in. The jewish priesthood couldn't control their own asses at the time in question, since they were entirely dependent and appointed by the Romans.
The Jewish priesthood had influence over Judea on a purely religious sense; hence if Jesus threatens them, then the Priests will get worried, and what happens when they get worried? They contact the Romans.
In fact, Jesus's ''revolution'' was actually quite small in scale - TLDR he pissed off Jewish priests. Jewish texts and prophecies at the time were very naracssistic; if a prophecy was made, it was solely about the socio-political structure of the time.
