Well, since this is a question for Muslims, then I must clarify that according to Islam, Jesus was never caught by the Sanhedrin, he was never crucified and he's still alive until this very day (in heavens of course)to be sent down for his second coming to fight the false Messiah. The Quran says:
وقولهم إنا قتلنا المسيح عيسى بن مريم رسول الله وما قتلوه وما صلبوه ولكن شبه لهم ; وإن الذين اختلفوا فيه لفي شك منه ما لهم به من علم إلا اتباع الظن وما قتلوه يقينا بل رفعه الله إليه وكان الله عزيزا حكيما
Translation: "And for claiming that they killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of GOD. In fact, they never killed him, they never crucified him - they were made to think that they did. All factions who are disputing in this matter are full of doubt concerning this issue. They possess no knowledge; they only conjecture. For certain, they never killed him. Instead, GOD raised him to Him; GOD is Almighty, Most Wise." (4:157/8)

Noor! I have extreme respect to all religions and I was so insecure about this joke that I had to PM Snoozin to ask her if I'd crossed my boundaries with this one.

One could say that Jesus was handed over to the Romans because the Jewish method of execution was hanging, not crucifixion. As it was necessary that Jesus be crucified to fulfil the prophecy, then it was obviously God's design to do things this way. However, who said that he was handed over by the Sanhedrin?
But much more important is the fact that He would not be able to resurrect from the dead unless he were put to death first. In fact, how can any of us resurrect from the dead unless we die first?
Now, some people might argue that rising from the dead is an absurdity, but when the Muslims say that He rose without dying first, then that is a double absurdity. How can anyone rise and go to heaven before first they die? What nonsense is this? Posts: 304 | From: egypt | Registered: Dec 2005
