NEVER FORGET THAT THE JEWS KILLED CHRIST - ORIGINALLY A JEW BUT WHO ULTIMATELY FOUND THE WAY THROUGH A DIVING HIGHER-POWER CONNECTION TO GOD AND FOUNDED CHRISTIANITY ... Who Killed Jesus: The Romans or the Jews? | Catholic Answers Magazine
“But they shouted all the more, ‘Let him be crucified.’”
Who killed Jesus? One of the great sins of Christian people in history has been the facile assertion that Jesus was killed by the Jews. This made Christians in the Middle Ages, and not a few modern Catholics, feel good about themselves because they were not the “Christ-killers.” But of course the assertion doesn’t really make sense. Jesus was, after all, a Jew—a fact that I know can come as a shock to so many of those people I still meet from time to time who think they must know everything about the faith because they “went to Catholic school.” And the people actually putting him to death, in all four of the Gospels, are the Roman authorities, led by Pontius Pilate.
