The time for Jewish Sanhedrin to loose their authority to execute the death
penalty is fortold in Genesis and fulfilled.

	Genesis 49:10
		The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's
		staff from between his feet, until Shiloh* comes.

This happened in 11 A.D. when Jewish sovereignty is subdued by the Roman
Empire.  To cope with the situation, the Jews made efforts to eliminate
the death penalty.

* Shiloh is a name of the Messiah
