The Truth About Who Killed Christ

Jewish people have been murdered, vilified, and hated for centuries as “Christ-killers.” Did they kill Christ? Here is what the Bible teaches. A few months ago, I met with a high-profile Jewish leader who was giving a talk about his journey from poverty to entrepreneurial success. As a boy growing up in the slums of Boston, he said he was often chased down and beaten up by Gentile kids in his

  1. Thanks, Ty
    That’s the conclusion I have reached in my study of John’s Gospel. There seem to be few who have dug deep enough into the Scriptures to draw that conclusion. I appreciate the way you presented it – encouraging your readers to reconsider their views in the light of the Scriptures. I’ve made a copy of your article for my files. God bless.

  2. No, it is not theologically accurate to say “no one killed Jesus.” In John 10:18, Jesus was not saying that no one would kill him (obviously). Rather, he was saying that no one has the ultimate power to take his life. Both Jews and Gentiles killed Jesus only because Jesus laid down his life voluntary according to the predestined will of God, “…for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.” Acts 4:26-27

    According to the apostles, the Jewish people, along with the Gentiles, shared responsibility in crucifying the Messiah. But it was all done according to God’s predestined will.

    None of which gives us the right to persecute Jewish people today.

  3. And yes this kind of false statement is why all the lies keep going on and on my friends we all crucified Christ every time we sin we scream out crucify Hm it was because we all were sinners and needed a savior for our salvation comes through Christ and Christ alone that is what the Word of God teaches from the beginning to end let us all humble ourselves and repent and come and bow down at the feet of Christ for we our running out of time and start teaching and preaching the true gospel of our Lord and Savior

  4. Thank you!
