Roman execution by crucifixion was used almost exclusively for those who participated in insurrection.
That's not true.
Roman citizens couldn't be crucified except under extreme circumstances like rebellion, but that is not true of non-citizens.
In this case your underlying presumption is wrong.One man wasn't going to go in and disrupt the Temple merchants who were there under the protection of the priesthood.
One man led under the power and protection of the Holy Spirit can, and will, do a lot of things your average person wouldn't dream of doing, and with great success.
They tried to seize him several times, but they were incapable of doing it because it "wasn't his time yet".he merchants would have stopped one man on their own
He said the temple would be destroyed.I am convinced that Jesus' faith led him to expect his actions would lead to God to re-inhabiting the Temple and ruling Israel/the World from there, with him as God's messiah/anointed one.
