But, the Jews did not kill Jesus! Read the words of Christ himself in John 10:17:

"The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life--only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."

Peter, Paul, Matthew, Mark, Philip, John, Andrew, Stephan, James (Son of Zebedee), Bartholomew, Thaddeus, Simon and the other James,...the Apostles of Jesus and his friends, were all Jewish. The Bible we follow, with the exception of Luke and Acts; was written by the hand of a Jewish person! Jesus was Jewish, went faithfully to synagog; and there is even an account of him celebrating Hanukkah in John 10:22.

The New Testament is not "anti-Jewish" as some Rabbi's insist on saying it is. If in doubt; read it.

OK, well if you want to split legal hairs, technically it was the Romans who killed Jesus, it was just the Jews who turned Him over to them so He could be punished much more harshly than their laws would allow.

As for that verse you posted, He's not absolving the Jews who want Him dead of any guilt, He's saying that since He's the Son of God, he could very easily change the course of events, but He's choosing to fulfill the prophecies about Him.
