    Nar the Romans handed Jesus off to the Jews to deal with him. That’s where the phrase “I wash my hand of this” comes from. Was the Roman judge saying not my problem its a problem for your religious group to deal with. Then the Romans crucified him on the Jews behalf.

      This is almost certainly not true. There is no way Romance would cede such an important aspect of governance to the Jews, not to mention most scholarship having converged on the idea that Jesus was killed by the Romans for changing their sovereignty (claiming to be the King of the Jews).

        The documentation at the time is pretty clear. The Romans were scared of a Jewish uprising so crucified Jesus.

        At Pentecost, Peter told the Jews they crucified Jesus

        Acts 2:23

        this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.

        Acts 2:36

        Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

        Acts 4:10

        let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well.

  The religious heads of his time and place were opposed to him, yes, but that doesn’t make Abrahamic and Mosaic Judaism any less important. If someone had the courage to be openly moral and follow Jesus’ footsteps in “Christian” America, he’d also be silenced…
