Judas is one of the disciples. He betrayed Jesus in the Garden of Getshamane after sharing the passover meal with him.

Judas had been paid by the High Priest 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus Judas had accepted to betray Jesus because he didn’t think Jesus was the son

of God. He hanged himself shortly after his treason

I think Judas is involved in the death of Jesus because he betrayed him. He told to the High Priest where Jesus would be and how he might recognize him (Judas kissed Jesus to show the soldiers who they should arrest). So, if Judas had not agreed to betray him, Jesus could have been arrested later.

The Sanhedrin were led by the High Priest The Jewish Authorities thought Jesus was wrong because he did not follow the laws as

strictly as they did. (Jesus did a miracle the day of the Sabbah, when no one was supposed to work).

The Jewish Authorities put Jesus in trial before the High Priest and put him to death, but they needed the permission of Pontius Pilate to kill Jesus. We said the trial before the High Priest was illegal because as Jesus was arrested at night the whole council wasn’t there.

Pontius Pilate gave them the choice to pardon Jesus but they refused and Jesus has been put to death.

I think the Jewish Authorities were very responsible of Jesus’ death because Pontius Pilate gave them the choice to pardon Jesus but they refused. If they had said yes to pardon him, it would have been the end of troubles and Jesus might have been liberated.

Pontius Pilate was a roman governor. He didn’t think Jesus had commited a crime. He asked Jewish Authorities if they wanted to pardon Jesus. They refused. Pontius Pilate let Jews kill Jesus.

I think Pontius Pilate is not more responsible than others, in the way he asked Jews if they wanted to liberate Jesus and don’t punish him. Pontius Pilate didn’t think Jesus was a criminal and wanted let him go. He could say no to Jews to kill Jesus but they told him that if he would let Jesus unpunished, he would angry Julius Caesar the roman emperor. Again, at this time Jesus might have been liberated.

King Herod was called king of Jews but he wasn’t a Jew. He was jealous of Jesus popularity. He did not believe Jesus was the son of God. He had killed every boys under two years old when Jesus was born because of the

prophecy telling that a little boy born in a stable would become King of the Kings.

I think King Herod is the person who was the most afraid of Jesus because of

the prophecy telling that he would become King. Herod didn’t want another King than

him. He was very jealous of Jesus but also very powerful. I think King Herod wouldn’t have pardoned Jesus anyway. He was so angry that if Jesus would have been his prisoner, he would have killed him. At this time, Jesus couldn't be liberated unpunished.

The Disciples were the friends of Jesus, they followed him in what he did. The Disciples were 12. They believed Jesus were the son of God, apart from Judas who betrayed him. They ran away when Jesus had been arrested

I don’t think Disciples are very responsible of Jesus’ death because they couldn’t do anything to help Jesus against all the soldiers. But they betrayed him in a way because they didn’t stayed with Jesus during his arrestation.

‘Jesus died to take away the sin of the world.’ (st Paul) , so Jesus died for take away OUR sins.

Us is us all, no one is apart from that. We inherited sins from Adam and Eve. (Book of Genesis) We all have sinned at one time.

I think we are very responsible of Jesus’ death because if we had not sin, Jesus would not comes as the son of God to dead for save us, but we did and Jesus dead.

I think the responsible for Jesus’ death is …

I think that because Pontius Pilate gave them the choice to forgive Jesus but they said no. They could save him but they didn’t.
