Who was the one who ordered Jesus's death? Was it the Romans or was it the Jews?

Answer 1

*Sigh* This is one of those things that makes it painfully obvious that the Gospels were written by non-Jews hundreds of years after the events they purported to describe -- as they often betray a lack of understanding of Judaism and its history.

Jesus was a Pharisee (thumb me down all you want, guys, but he wasn't a Christian -- he was a practicing Jew of the Pharisean tradition). He was killed by a Roman method and humiliated in the classically Roman way -- for agitating against the Caesar's authority, which is what many Pharisees did at the time. The few Jews who desired Jesus' execution were the Sadducees -- a tradition of Judaism which has since become extinct. The Rabbinical Judaism of the Middle Ages and continuing into the modern period is a descendant of the Pharisean tradition -- and the Pharisees (though most of them probably found Jesus far too extreme) certainly had no interest in his death.

Unfortunately, the Greek gentlemen who wrote the Gospels had no understanding whatsoever of these issues -- and consequently, neither do their disciples today.

Answer 2

It was the Romans; they were the only ones who practised crucifixion.

And no, the Jews did NOT 'pressure' the Romans into it - how could they when the Jews were totally oppressed and bullied by the Romans? They couldn't persuade the Romans to do anything!

Answer 3

The Roman government ordered it...

It was in response to the cries of the mob, that Pilate ordered Bar-Abbas released and condemned Jesus to scourging and crucifixion.

There is much disagreement among authorities about the unusual scourging as a prelude to crucifixion. Most Roman writers from this period do not associate the two. Many scholars believe that Pilate originally ordered Jesus scourged as his full punishment and that the death sentence by crucifixion came only in response to the taunt by the mob that the Procurator was not properly defending Caesar against this pretender who allegedly claimed to be the King of the Jews.

Preparations for the scourging were carried out when the Prisoner was stripped of His clothing and His hands tied to a post above His head. It is doubtful the Romans would have made any attempt to follow the Jewish law in this matter, but the Jews had an ancient law prohibiting more than forty lashes.

The Roman legionnaire steps forward with the flagrum (or flagellum) in his hand. This is a short whip consisting of several heavy, leather thongs with two small balls of lead attached near the ends of each. The heavy whip is brought down with full force again and again across Jesus' shoulders, back, and legs. At first the thongs cut through the skin only. Then, as the blows continue, they cut deeper into the subcutaneous tissues, producing first an oozing of blood from the capillaries and veins of the skin, and finally spurting arterial bleeding from vessels in the underlying muscles.

The small balls of lead first produce large, deep bruises which are broken open by subsequent blows. Finally the skin of the back is hanging in long ribbons and the entire area is an unrecognizable mass of torn, bleeding tissue. When it is determined by the centurion in charge that the prisoner is near death, the beating is finally stopped.

The half-fainting Jesus is then untied and allowed to slump to the stone pavement, wet with His own blood. The Roman soldiers see a great joke in this provincial Jew claiming to be king. They throw a robe across His shoulders and place a stick in His hand for a scepter. They still need a crown to make their travesty complete. Flexible branches covered with long thorns (commonly used in bundles for firewood) are plaited into the shape of a crown and this is pressed into His scalp. Again there is copious bleeding, the scalp being one of the most vascular areas of the body.

Answer 4

nicely, the church had that stance for numerous hundred years till merely those days, we are talking Nineteen 1970s the following, yet all of us understand they blame them. yet, Jesus trial would not make any experience: The Sanhedrin were no longer allowed to fulfill outside the council chambers for an reliable count number at any time. Being extra before the Sanhedrin changed into like being tried by technique of the finest court - you'll not were spit on or beaten. no longer to point the Sanhedrin are expressly forbidden from assembly for the duration of Passover. also, it changed into no longer adversarial to Jewish regulation for a guy to proclaim himself the messiah - this turned right into a person-pleasant occurence. Jesus taught easy Torah, and there is not any obtainable way that he would have met his destiny how that's defined contained in the Gospels.

Answer 5

Kenites, Sons of Cain which called themselves Jews, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Jhn 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

But it was the Roman government that did the deed at the prompting of the Kenites. Rome was a type of Beast system for the end days.

Answer 6

The Romans did it, but history tries to tell us this is merely due to the Jews having no law with which to put him to death. However, this is certainly untrue as one could be stoned to death for blasphemy which is what they accused Jesus of. Pilate gave the order regardless of the surrounding situation not Caiaphas or Ananias.

Answer 7

It was God the Father. The Romans and the Jews were instruments to accomplish his will. It was prophesied long before it happened.

Answer 8

The Jews did not have the authority and not all Jews wanted Jesus dead. It was just a few Sanhedrin who were powerful and influencial.

Answer 9

The romans under the pressure of the jews.

Answer 10

Read the gospel accounts. To summarize, the Jewish leadership coerced the Roman governor into putting Jesus on trial. The governor tried to get out of it and left the decision of Jesus fate in the hands of the Jewish crowd who then cried out to crucify him.
