Jesus knew his Truth and listened to his Soul (i.e. the voice of God) and followed that.
Many besides Jesus were crucified, why they singled him out, is because he walked a "holy" life and did/said things that seemed inappropriate or unfathomable. Leaders thought that he was coming along to take their people away and brainwash them into thinking these holy things.
But he wasn't the only beaten or crucified. It was a norm in the Roman era to stone or kill those who did not abide by the rules or was not the "same" as them, especially Jews.
