No, Jesus is speaking with Pontius Pilate the Roman Governor before whom the Jewish leadership [the high priest, the Sadducees & Pharisees included] brought Jesus hoping to have him 'legally' killed. The Apostle Paul writes about the authority which men, such as Pontius Pilate and even the Roman Emperor, received from God:Amadeus;
Exactly, I sketch in hope of future realization and action by others.
I do have a question for you regarding one scripture you mentioned: Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin." John 19:10-11
Am I correct in thinking that "...he that delivered me unto thee..." is a reference to God the Father, and, thus, that Jesus is saying that God the Father hath sin? That would be radically heavy. I do not think Christ is referring to the Pharisees//Sadducees here...

"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." Rom 13:1
"Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work" Titus 3:1
[Those verses, like many verses of scripture, may have more than one meaning which can include spiritual as well as carnal things.]
Jesus and Paul taught the need for people to be subject to the legal secular authority in place over them to the extent they could do so without opposing God. In the Old Testament for example men [the natural children of Jacob/Israel] wanted a king like the gentiles had, but their kings were anointed in that position by men of God. Both the first and second kings of Israel [Saul and David] were anointed by the prophet/judge, Samuel.
God let men go their own way and God anointed kings for them even though He had already warned them that it would not have a good ending. This happened then, but it all may be seen as types and shadows of what has happened since and even what is happening today. But... as I am sure you already know, all of the apparent Christians of today are not in agreement in all of these things. This last was also what was happening in Israel at the time Jesus walked as a man for the Sadducees and Pharisees were strongly opposed to each other, but they conspired together to have Jesus crucified!
