comparable. Common source from Luke an d Mathew is Mark and, it is hypothesized, Q. And John's Gospel is far more concerned with Metaphysics. You are correct about the concerns of Passover for the Romans - Jerusalem is packed that week with Jews from all over the area, tens of thousands descending and one little spark - Pilate may have feared, would be all it might take to light the place up. And then Pilate looks incompetent to Rome and he could not allow that.
