Nevet's answer above is so well done that nothing can be added.

Jesus was responsible. He was acting as a rebel in a society with no tolerance to any kind of rebellion. He was acting in order to present himself as a Messiah, and it cost him his life.

# The Romans were in control of the Temple since they *purged* the temple of any priests who would not serve them. # The Temple authority, aka the Roman puppets, demanded that Jesus would be put to death because he was making trouble. # The Romans murdered Jesus along with countless other Jews. # The Romans then adopted Christianity and murdered more Jews, blaming them for killing God. ----- Something to take seriously: http://www.hirhome.com/israel/mprot1.htm

who wanted HIM dead and why? mainly, the Jewish High Priests, there were lots of Jews that Believed...The Priests knew if all the Jews Followed Christ, they would lose POWER..and they would not allow that...Nicodemus had many private talks with Christ, but he still would not let go of the priestly powers.....it is all there ... William Tyndale was told by a Catholic clergy that "it was better to do the Pope's Laws than God's" ...this is exactly why Tyndale brought an English Bible to the Layman...and they killed him for this...Tyndale was trying to take POWER from ROman Catholic....

Very few events are the responsibility of a single person or group. It requires rather a child-like attitude to say that X caused /only/ by Y. In the real world, things have many causes, and many people contribute to a single event. You can, of course, blame God (if you believe in him)for everything. If God had not created the world, nothing, including the death of Jesus, would have happened, Therefore absolutely everything is His fault.

Sinners.

Who was responsible for Jesus' death? On one level, the Romans, since they carried out the actual execution. On another level, the specific people living in Jerusalem (Acts 2:23). On another level, God, since it was His will that the Christ should suffer (Acts 2:23 again)

Every one of us.

All of us humans were responsible for the death of Jesus. Jesus Christ died for all of us.

Neither. God first created man in his image, but then man sin when Adam ate the fruit of Good and Evil. So after that happened we were seperated from God. So to get man back to a right relationship with God, he came to earth in form of a man, to die and raise from the grave to save us from Hell.

Jesus was, He was the great High Priest who gave Himself as a ransom for many. Remember just before His arrest the guards tried to take Him by force and they were repelled but a moment later He submitted to them. He was in control. On the cross He gave up His Spirit, He was the lamb of God who took away the sins of the world By His sacrifice.

"The responsibility for the death of Jesus has, in Christianity, both historical and theological aspects. The primary sources for both inquiries are the Gospel accounts of the events leading up to Jesus' death. The historical inquiry is aided by other sources from antiquity which explain the cultural and political environment in which Jesus lived. Historical analyses of Jesus' death generally assigned responsibility to either - 1. The Roman-appointed government of the Roman province of Iudaea[1] 2. The Jewish leadership in Jerusalem at the time. The theological question can be understood in the light of other New Testament writings such as the Letters of Paul. There is no term meaning deicide used in the New Testament, either in the original Greek, or in the later Latin Vulgate translation. Similarly, New Testament texts which refer to responsibility for Jesus' death do not take special note of Jesus' divine identity, although explicit mention that he is the Messiah sent by God is found (Acts 2:36). The New Testament nowhere blames Jews who lived outside Judea for Jesus' death (cf. Acts 2:22-23), nor does it exonerate the Gentile rulers in Judea (cf. Matthew 27:24). Jesus' disciple Judas Iscariot is blamed for disclosing his identity[2] to the authorities. Theological analyses of who is responsible for Jesus' death have included: 1. All humanity through their sinfulness, 2. Jews in particular through their manipulation of the Roman authorities 3. God, for the benefit of people in general, 4. God, for the benefit of the Elect in particular. 5. The Roman authorities in Judea " Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsibility_for_the_death_of_Jesus Further information: - "Who was responsible for Christ's death?" http://www.gotquestions.org/responsible-Christ-death.html - "Who Is Responsible For The Death of Christ?" http://www.logosresourcepages.org/OurTimes/christs_death.htm

God is responsible. It was His plan from the beginning. Other wise He wouldn't have created Lucifer who He knew would turn against Him and cause all people to make mistakes.

Every sinner that He died for.
