We'll look at just one of the accounts in the New Testament of the Standard Christian Bible. You can find the account of Jesus's accusers, His trial, and Pilate's attempts to spare Jesus's life in John, Chapters 18 and 19.

The story as presented in the book of John is this:


  1. The Jewish leaders paid Judas to betray Jesus into their hands.
  2. The Jewish leaders, who were armed with torches, lanterns, and weapons, arrested Jesus.
  3. After a Jewish trial, Jesus was taken to the Roman governor, Pilate, who told them to judge Jesus themselves.
  4. The Jews objected because "we have no right to execute anyone".
  5. Pilate took Jesus, and, after questioning Him, told the Jews that there was no basis to charge Him with any crime and asked to release Jesus.
  6. They shouted "No." Free Barabbas instead.
  7. Pilate had Jesus flogged, but then returned with Jesus to the Jews, at which point the Jews demanded that Pilate crucify Jesus.
  8. Pilate refused and told them to do it.
  9. But the Jews insisted that according to their law, Jesus had to die.
  10. After that, Pilate continued in his attempts to set Jesus free.
  11. Again, the Jewish leaders insisted on Jesus's death.
  12. Pilate then held a public hearing.
  13. The Jewish leaders were there and demanded His crucifixion.

Luke adds some additional details. In yet another act of attempting to prove Jesus's innocence, Pilate sent Jesus to King Herod to be questioned. King Herod likewise found no reason for Jesus not to be set free. Still, the leaders of the Jews demanded his death.


Matthew 15:24-25 tells us that Pilate, after giving up his attempts to save Jesus's life, washed his hands in water in front of the crowd and told them that he was innocent of Jesus's blood and that they were responsible. The Jewish leaders responded: "His blood is on us and on our children."


Pilate succumbed to the political pressure and had Jesus crucified.


These are the reasons that Christians take the position that the leadership of the Jewish nation is responsible for the death of Christ.

Were the Jews slaves that killed christ?

First off, the Jews did not kill Christ, the Romans did. However, ignoring that issue and the long-winded argumentation that would be required to discuss it, the answer is, "No". The Jews in Judaea (which was the Roman province where Jesus lived and was crucified) were free and independent people. The saga with slavery, if it occurred, would have happened nearly 1200+ years earlier.
