Did the Jews kill Jesus,
or did the Romans pay
the High Priest to have
Jesus killed,
like my Pastor say's?

Answer to Question

During the time of the
Roman occupation,
the Jewish people did not
have the right to
execute anyone.

Jesus was executed for
violating Roman law
(claiming to be a king).

He was executed by
Roman soldiers,
by order of the Roman
Procurator, Pontius Pilate,
using the Roman means
of execution, crucifixion.
Jesus died on a Roman Cross.

The Jewish method of
execution was stoning.

All these facts are easily
verifiable in both Biblical
and historical accounts.

In fairness, Pilate tried repeatedly to get Jesus freed,
but the Jewish people who were present demanded
that he apply the law.

He finally surrendered
to their wishes and had
Jesus executed.
