A Shared Responsibility
Scholars note that Pilate "delivered" Jesus to the Jewish leaders using the same Greek word (paradidómi) that describes the leaders delivering Jesus to Pilate.

As one commentator notes, it was part of God's divine plan that the Jews would first plan his death and the Gentiles would carry it out, highlighting the guilt of both parties.
