The Jews indirectly killed Jesus by using the Romans. And in 70ad, God used those same Romans to bring vengeance and wrath upon their own heads.[Matthew 27:25]Copperhead said: ↑
Just like the myth that the Jews killed Yeshua that has been the basis of antisemitism for so long.
Mat 23:30
“and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.'
Luk 11:50
“that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
John 18:31Revelation 18:24 and in her blood of prophets and of saints was found, and of all those who have been slain on the land
Pilate, therefore, said to them, 'Take ye him -- ye -- and according to your law judge him;' the Jews, therefore, said to him, 'It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;'
Mat 27:25
and all the people answering said, 'His blood is upon us, and upon our children!'
Act 7:52
Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed them that showed before of the coming of the Righteous One; of whom ye have now become betrayers and murderers;
1Th 2:14
For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans,
1Th 2:15
who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men,
1Th 2:16
forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.
Jas 5:6
Ye condemned, ye murdered the Righteous one; he doth not resist you.

An interesting thread on that here for those interested:
Not Lawful for the Jews to Kill...?
Lazarus Short said: ↑
I was reading in the Gospel of John this morning, and came up short on this:
Pilate, therefore, said to them, 'Take ye him -- ye -- and according to your law judge him;' the Jews, therefore, said to him, 'It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;'
-John 18:31, YLT
It wasn't the YLT I was reading, but chose it to quote...but what I thought was, How about that, the Jews were lying through their teeth, as they had picked up stones to stone Jesus two or three times previously, and it is recorded in other Gospels too. So can anyone tell me - were they just being politically correct and/or were they actually outwardly obeying Roman Law but killing on the side, or were they flat-out lying to Pilate? I know I'm almost answering my own question, but I'm looking for some deeper insights here...
Who can give me some insight...?
I would think they were lying. They stoned Steven, they were going to stone the woman... and Yeshua himself. It is possible that the elite put one face on for Rome and behind the scenes acted otherwise as needed and when able. In Yeshua's case... it was too public at that time, too many were aware of him, their hands were tied.
The truth is, what you called Jewish law did indeed have as a penalty for certain transgressions, death. But the Jews were also under Roman rule and how much they could practice according to their beliefs is in question. The Torah (Law) as written, is for when Israel is sovereign and there is a Temple.
