How do we know the Jews were guilty of Jesus' death?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture explicitly charges the Jewish leaders and the generation of Jews at the time with guilt for the crucifixion of Jesus.

The guilt of the Jewish leaders for the death of Jesus is underscored throughout the New Testament. In passages like Matthew 23, Jesus directly confronts the Pharisees and scribes, calling them a 'generation of vipers' and predicting judgment upon their generation for their rejection of Him (Matthew 23:32-36). The apostles, specifically Peter in Acts 2:23, reiterate that it was by the wicked hands of the Jews that Jesus was betrayed and crucified. Additionally, in Acts 5:30, Peter directly accuses the Jews of crucifying the Lord of life. These testimonies, coming from Jewish apostles themselves, clarify that while the Roman authorities executed Jesus, the plot originated with the Jewish leadership, signifying their collective guilt in this grave act of rebellion against their Messiah.
