Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely that anyone will ever publicly ask him “Was it wrong, then, to crucify Jesus?”.

“Was it wrong, then, to crucify Jesus?”.

That was the judicial murder of an innocent man.

Luke 23:
39 And one of those robbers who were hanged, blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing thou art condemned under the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil. 42 And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.

Abusus non tollit usum. The abuse of a thing doesn't invalidate the (valid or legitimate) use of the thing.

Concretely: Evil rulers may execute innocent men. It does not follow thereby that it is wrong for just rulers to execute guilty men.
