What events lead to Jesus' death?

In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) the event that triggered the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus was the cleansing of the temple. On the evening of the Passover, Jesus and the disciples celebrated with a ritual meal, known as the Last Supper, then went to the Garden of Gethsemene to pray. Here, Judas betrayed Jesus, who was arrested and taken before the Sanhedrin court then before the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, because the Sanhedrin could not pass a sentence of death. In Luke's Gospel, Pilate sent Jesus to Herod Antipas for sentencing, which Herod refused to do, leaving Pilate to pass sentence.

In John's Gospel, the event that triggered the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus was the resurrection of Lazarus, with the pharisees and the priests saying that the whole world is following Jesus. On the evening before the Passover, Jesus and the disciples met for a simple meal and Jesus washed the feet of the disciples. Jesus then went to the brook of Cedron to pray. Here, Judas betrayed Jesus, who was arrested and taken before Annas, then separately to Caiaphas, because the Sanhedrin never met during the hours of darkness. They then took him before the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate for sentencing.
