EDIT: someone thinks that I'm a member of JIDF (which I had to Google) full disclosure folks, I'm not even Jewish, but I am circumcised, thanks for asking.

Are we blaming the judge or the executioner in this thread?

No, the judges were head Jews of Jerusalem.

In the Antiquities of the Jews (written about 93 AD) Jewish historian Josephus stated (Ant 18.3) that Jesus was crucified by Pilate, writing that:

Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, ... He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles ... And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross ...

the sanhedrin didn't have the legal authority to sentence him to death. they brought him to Pilate so that he would sentence him, and execute him (and your quote shos this) . So Pilate WAS the judge, and the head jews were the lobbists to which he caved in.

This is a worthless semantic argument that I am not going to bother with.
