Power of the church? You mean synagogue? Well what the Jews were upset at is that He healed on the sabbath, got between they're hypocrisy, and that He made Himself the Son of God, making Him equal with God. But the main reason being that they were envious of Him. Plus He also exposes their hearts and true intentions, and they didn't like that.
Did Jesus claim he was the son of God? Regardless, unless Jesus was a threat to the synagogue's cash flow I just don't see why they would be compelled to crucify him. Why was he even on their radar. Just some nut in the street like the thousands of other ones.
I think he was advocating a radical philosophy that isn't in the Gospels. King James translators cleansed the Gospels.
