What does the Bible say about who killed Jesus?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible attributes the responsibility of Jesus' death to various parties, including the Jewish people, Roman authorities, and ultimately, God's sovereign plan.

In Acts 4:26-28, Peter highlights that both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together to conspire against Jesus, fulfilling God's predetermined plan. The scripture emphasizes that while different groups participated in the act of crucifying Christ, it was God's sovereign counsel that ultimately determined this event, implying that God had a hand in the plan of salvation through Christ's death. Importantly, Acts 2:23 also points out that Jesus was delivered up according to God's foreknowledge, making it clear that His death was not a mere accident but part of divine providence.
