The New Testament is far from accurate about Judaism or Jewish beliefs. it is obvious that it is written to deflect the blame from the Romans and onto the Jews since the Jews had rejected Jesus and the authors were trying to convert the Romans
The gospel account of Jesus' death is laughable when you look at the Jewishlaw (you know- the one that the Gospels state the Pharisees were so intent on keeping!)
1) A trial for a capital crime has to be heard during the day- the trial in the gospels happens at night
2) A trial for a capital crime in Jerusalem could only be heard in the Chamber of Stone in the Temple- the trial in the gospels takes place in a private home
3) A full Sanhedrin of 70 Judges heard capital crimes in Jerusalem- in the gospels only a few judges are present.
4) Two witnesses who are certain and cannot contradict each other are needed. If they are not certain or contradict each other they are put on trial! - in the gospels the witnesses arrive late in the trial and are uncertain.
5) The person has to be warned by the witnesses IMMEDIATELY before the crime that they are engaging in a capital offense- no warnings are given in the gospels and the witnesees aren't even present when the trial starts!
6) The accused has to have acknowledged the warning and still continued to do the crime in front of the two people that warned him- in the gospels no warning or acknowledgement of warning is ever given
6) If somebody is not convicted by a Sanhedrin- it is FORBIDDEN to hand them over to secualr authorities.
7) Crucifixion was a Roman punishment- it was NEVER used by Jews
8) Pontius Pilates was an absolute ruler who was exceptionally cruel- so much so that he was removed from power for excessive cruelty by the Roman government. (one wonders at how bad he must have been to offend the sensibilities of people who saw rape, killing children and torture as valid tools of politics!) There is no reason for him to agree to anything from a powerless group of Jews who had no means of getting him to do anything at all!
All in all, the account in the gospels is laughable and just more of its anti-Semitic message coming through.Why did the jews kill Jesus ? is it true that jews believe anyone with miracles is witch and should be killed?
what a moronic question. read your bible, the jews didnt kill jesus, the romans did. The jews were upset because there was a man claiming the be the messiah and trying to convince other jews....and then he went to the holy temple in front of the ancient day equivolent of the supreme court and told everyone there that he was the son of God...Yeah, the jews were pissed...but the blood was not on their hands.
By the way, perpetuating unsubstantiated slanderous rumours about a religion no more harmful than your own is something that should be left to white supremacists, dictators, and other people for whom controlling the weak minded is their only solace in life.
Dont believe everything you hear from your parents, from your clergymen, or from a book. Do a little research before you slander an entire race of people you little twerp!
Jesus said no man took his life, so either he was wrong or you are to say the Jews/Romans did.
haha! you really p!ssed some people off! if you actually look at history you will find four things; 1.) there were about eight or nine men with the similar names living in judea around the time who had the same claim. 2.) jews don't have a track record for persecuting people because of witchcraft, i think christians have that medal. 3.) when did the romans do any thing at the jews' request? 4.) any one claiming to be king of any thing in the roman empire who was not the emperor was seen as a threat because he (the emperor) was seen as a g-d and worshiped by the people.
moshe performed miracles remember and he was not killed. conclusion, no this was not the reason that jesus was killed. blaming the jews its going to bring him back. in fact, if it was g-d's plan all along then questioning why jesus died would be like job questioning g-d himself. you should be glad that the ';jews killed jesus.';
i hope you don't take this in offence and have a good day ;D.
i suggest you read your own scriptures first and see that it was the romans. they were in charge and they made the final decision.
he was killed because he was a rebel and the romans didnt need a huge excuse to kill people. they executed a couple of people every week in jerusalem just to keep the locals at bay.
at any rate, if you believe that jesus had to die as a sacrifice for your sins, then logically, whoever killed him contributed to his sacrifice and did god's will.
The Romans did it for trying to start a revolt against them. The real story is completely different from what the Christians want to believe.

The only ancient sources that we have for who killed Jesus are the passion narratives in the four Gospels: Mark 14鈥?5, Matthew 26鈥?7, Luke 22鈥?3, and John 18鈥?9. The four accounts agree on many basic points. They tell us that Jesus was arrested, underwent two hearings or trials, was sentenced to death by crucifixion, and died on the cross.
None of the Evangelists set out to write a detailed chronicle of the day Jesus died. All of them provide some reliable historical details. But their real interest lay in the theological significance of Jesus' death for us and for our sins, and how his death took place according to the Scriptures.
In Jesus' time crucifixion was a Roman punishment inflicted mainly on slaves and revolutionaries. The usual Jewish mode of execution was stoning, as in the case of Stephen (see Acts 7:54-60). Crucifixion was a cruel and public way to die. As a public punishment, it was meant to shame the one being executed and to deter the onlookers from doing what he had done.
The official who had the power to execute Jesus by crucifixion was the Roman governor or prefect. In Jesus' time the prefect was Pontius Pilate, who held that position between a.d. 26 and 36. Jesus was put to death ';under Pontius Pilate'; around a.d. 30.
Pontius Pilate, with cooperation from some Jewish leaders in Jerusalem, killed Jesus.
On the historical level one can point to the sinful social structures of first-century Palestine and the spiral of violence that led Pilate to view Jesus as a dangerous Jewish rebel. On the theological level one can say that Jesus' death on the cross was the result of human sinfulness.
Answer: The Romans did, not the Jews. The Sanhedrin at the time did not have the power to carry out or pass capital sentences. Also--you have no idea what you're talking about with regards to the Torah so please don't even try.
Keep trying to instill anti-Semitic hatred. All you do is give us a chance to tell the truth.
Let's pretend for a second that we DID kill your ';lord and savior'; shouldn't you be THANKING us!! Now Jesus died for your sins and all you have to do is BELIEVE and you'll be ';saved';.
Now that we're done pretending, everyone knows the Romans were the ones who killed him; the Jews had no authority at that time to send anyone to the gallows, so why don't the Christians blame the ITALIANS now?!
Rome is the capital of Italy and they were the ruling power at the time....why don't you have it out for Italian people now and leave us Jews alone?
I am not aware of any witch-hunting among Jews throughout history, so I think it would be unlikely that it was a major factor. Also, I believe the Romans had a hand in his killing. Don't blame the Jews for everything.
Of course, I am no expert on the subject.
Why aren't you thanking the Jews for doing this? If it weren't for them you wouldn't be saved! Also, did you forget that Jesus was a Jew? Or are you one of those Christians who know nothing about his own religion? Your ignorance staggers the mind and gives a bad name to all Christians. If there is a God I will derive much satisfaction in seeing you in Hell with me (since I'm an atheist).
The question shouldn't be ';who'; killed Jesus, but ';what';. It was the weight of the sins of ALL humans that killed Jesus. The salary of sin is death. Jesus was dying for our sins, it would happen no matter who put him on the cross, who ordered it, who conspired it. He died for the Romans, for the Jews, for the Christians, for the Muslims...He died for everyone, whether they accept it or not...but that's a different subject.
Actually, it was the Roman authorities who killed Jesus.
But it was the Jewish religious authorities who turned him in.
Just as all the previous prophets were eventually killed.
Prophets stand up to authority %26amp; proclaim GOD's judgement.
I assume you must have learned your crucifiction history from Hollywood. Good old St. Mel's version I presume. If you don't know that the Romans did it, then you have a lot to learn.
Oh yea, and do you actually think that the ';All-Powerful Romans'; would take requests on who to kill? Funny. They did it all their own buddy. They were tyrants and ruled a large part of the world at that time. They never answered to anyone but themselves.
Was it the Jews that killed Jesus (who was a Jew) or the leadership (that happen to be Jews) and accomplise from the Roman leadership, that killed Jesus?
(Were not many followers of Jesus Jews also)?
The Jews demanded Jesus be put to death...the Romans were very reluctant to do so but the Jews insisted...it was all part of God's plan.
The bible says of Satan that he would never have crucified Jesus had He known what the results would be.
it wasn't ';the jews'; it was Pontius Pilot and the monarchial government of the time, who felt threatened by Christ.
By the way, you may not realize it but this post comes off very rude and ignorantly.
Ah, your hate-mongering makes it certain that if your religion is right you're going to Hell.
So instead of being annoyed, I'm just going to smirk.
Judge not lest ye be judged, remember?
Peace.
No one can kill a fictional character, which is what Jesus is, so the answer is that no one killed Jesus.
.
Who would you rather have kill him? It would be a shame if the savior of the world died of old age because no one was willing to kill him. It kind of takes all the punch out of the gospels.
this question is getting old
for one last time
the JEWS DID NOT KILL JESUS
THE ROMANS DID!!! he was killed outside jerusalem but that doesnt mean it was the jews
besides it was the romans who cruxified ppl
Oddly enough, it's the Christians who think those claiming any 'powers' should be killed.
no one knows because no one in this present day was there. and many people would kill others because they thought they were witches.
The Romans killed Jesus,and no the Jewish do not believe such insanity.A Christian Sister.
Twas the romans who did the killing lad.
The Jews were still upset about Jesus storming the temple.
If they did, it was because of people like you! Did you know that there were many other Jews ';killed'; at that time for the same reason Jesus was crucified? You must be very young or very immature.....or both.
They didn't, so there's no way to answer this question. That's like asking how did the Martians win World War II.
This is me telling you that it was a joint effort between the Jews and the Romans and both are to blame. The Jews were very proud people at the time and failed to accept the fact that Jesus was the Messiah they had long awaited. They criticized his teachings and miracles and felt he was brainwashing people into believing he was a prophet. During this very same time period it happened that the Romans were in control of the land we today call Israel. When the leaders of the Jewish community finally caught Jesus, peace be upon him, they demanded that the Romans execute him on account of being a ';false idol';. The Romans knew that if they didn't tend to the Jews' demands it would result in total chaos and surely war would break out in the land of Israel. Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Israel, had no choice but to crucify Jesus Christ. As for Jews believing that anyone with miracles should be killed, I'm not exactly sure of. History has definitely shown that Jews are very critical people. They denied Jesus to be the Messiah and again denied Muhammad, to be the last prophet of God. God only knows what punishment beholds the Jews in the afterlife. Hopefully this answers your question.
Not ALL Jews killed Jesus. Only those who stood something to lose, those in power and those in power who were wealthy, joined with the Romans to kill Jesus. (Jews could not under Roman law kill anyone without being convicted of murder themselves. They HAD to work with the Romans to kill Jesus.)
It had nothing to do with Jesus being suspected of being a witch or even those in power believing he was much more than a sham. They saw that Jesus had a following and he preached against many of those things to which they had become accustomed. They didn't want to give they're life styles up. That's basically why they wanted Jesus dead.
Yes, you are right! The Jews in power had already convicted Jesus in the Sanhedrin, or Jewish courts, but could not do what the law prescribed because of the Romans, but they did go to the Romans and got Pontius Pilate to do what they wanted.
Remember that most Jews didn't even know Jesus at the time of his death and those who may have who weren't followers, didn't give him much thought. It was only those in power who felt threatened.
you have got to be kidding me.....I'm going to give you a star but some of the answers ...... the Romans wanted no part of killing Jesus but they did it because the Jews wanted it
Smells like homework.
They killed him because Pilate refused to.
