27:25 all the people (see 21:43): This does not mean every living Jew. Instead, those urging Jesus’ condemnation are representative of all of unbelieving Israel, whose actions bring consequences for the nation as a whole (e.g., the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70). • We will take responsibility for his death—we and our children (see 23:35; 2 Sam 1:16; 14:9; Jer 51:35; Acts 5:28; 18:6; 20:26): Christians have at times misunderstood and misused this verse in persecution of Jews, but it is not an indictment against Jews in general.
