What reason did Pontius Pilate give for condemning Jesus to death?

The council of lay elders and priests, known as the Sanhedrin, were threatened by Jesus's growing power and his teachings. Saying that he claimed to be "the King of the Jews," they asked Pilate to try him for blasphemy, which he did.
