He was hated by the rulers because the rulers wife probably liked that person and didn't want to be with the ruler. They hated Jesus more than a murderer because everyone would do everything for Jesus and they had to respect him because he was the son of god. The roman rulers aren't supposed to hate Jesus just because he has to be treated with respect and mostly because he gave people life. If Jesus didn't die for us we wouldn't be here right now and everyone should be grateful for everything that he did for us. People should not hate Jesus for giving an opportunity to see how the world is and how life is they should love Jesus for what he did for everyone that lives and the future babies that are coming into the world. That's why the roman rulers hated Jesus more than a murderer.
