Gidday MCM,,no controversy for me,,the Romans gave the Jews a get out of jail card,,the Romans did not want to kill Jesus,,so the Romans said to the Jews,"who do you want to be crucified,Jesus who calls himself King of the Jews, or Barrabas a murderer."and the Jews called for Jesus to be crucified and barrabas set free and the Romans were astounded,,and to this day the Jews do not believe that Jesus the son of God has already come,,they cannot believe it because to do so would mean they have to admit they had the son of God murdered,,and i think that is a very heavy cross to bear.>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<

Pontius Pilate was the prefect of Judea during the time of Tiberius I.  Roman soldiers arrested Jesus, and He was presented to Pontius Pilate, who could find no reason for punishing Him.  He let the Jewish people who were clamoring for His death to decide, as there were other men who were scheduled to be crucified.  Pilate allowed them to designate one  to receive clemency, and appears, according to what I have read and learned, tried to steer the people towards clemency for Jesus.  They declined and called for another to receive clemency and Jesus to be killed.

The Roman soldiers "performed" the deed, but the people "ordered" it.  You decide. 

I'd say the PEOPLE.
