Did he mention "God" when he was asserting his deity? It would seem so. I reckon the legal notion that those "who blaspheme the Name of the LORD must be put to death" has got it covered.
All blasphemy was not grounds for execution, unless you know of some other scripture.

The charges brought against him was leading a rebellion. Jesus was found not guilty but Pilot executed Jesus anyhow.
No charges of blasphemy.

Yes. So it would seem.
What we have are men wanting their way.
The blasphemy death penalty is still in effect today in the form of the unforgivable sin.
Not that you really need to cate about that at the moment since you evidently are not forgiven for anything.

Didn’t you read where the Sanhedrin complained to Pilate that they didn’t have the right under Roman law to execute Jesus without Pilate’s consent? Clearly they believed he had earned the Mosaic law death penalty for blasphemy.

Tell me exactly what kind of blasphemy is punished by death according to the law.
Then tell me what kinds of sexual relations are punishable by death penalty.

NT: Jews, Christians: Defers to Roman law.
Subject Jews, Christians under Sanhedrin:
