[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd say, realistically, and based on the available facts, the crucifiction can be blamed 40% on the Jews and 60% on the Romans.  We can argue a bit on that, but I am particularly  influenced in this conclusion by the offer Pilate made to free one of the prisoners after their condemnation, and the crowd picked Barabbas, a murderer, to be freed and not Jesus.

It is 100% Roman justice system.
No normal person wants one of their national crucified.
[b]As of the crowd Chios of Barabbas I read somewhere he was a revolutionary and that might explain his popularity at that time[/b].[/quote]

I assume you've read Mathew 27 15-23

15 Now it was the governor’s custom at the festival to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. 16 At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus[a] Barabbas. 17 So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?” 18 For he knew it was out of self-interest that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19 While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him this message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.”

20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.

21 “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor.

“Barabbas,” they answered.

22 “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked.

They all answered, “Crucify him!”[/quote]
