Also, when the time came that He had fulfilled His purpose on the cross, He is the one who determined that "it is finished." He had said that no man took His life, but that He gave it up willingly.

And therein lies all the proof anyone will ever need, to put the lie to the claim that "they killed Christ" is the basis for antisemitism.

The "Christ-killer" excuse is exactly that -- and excuse. When someone hates Jews, any excuse will do. Remove one, using logic and reason, and they'll just hang their hats on another, because the exuses are mere pretext. The underlying hatred is the issue, and it can't be addressed by debunking the excuses.

"and excuse" = "an excuse".
