Behold the man upon a cross, my sin upon His shoulders Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice call out among the scoffers It was my sin that held Him there until it was accomplished His dying breath has brought me life; I know that it is finished. It is common for Christians today to claim that it was the Jewish leaders or the Romans who crucified Jesus Christ, and to deny the role of the people in His crucifixion. It is understandable that Christians would want to make this distinction, so as not to appear anti-Semitic. But by denying the Jewish people's role in the death of Christ, we deny our own culpability. That is actually the primary reason we deny Scripture's teaching here.
