Who crucified Jesus?  What exactly was the reason?  Where did it happen and how?

Sincerely,

Dear History Hunter,

Jesus was crucified by the Jewish people because the Jewish priesthood and leadership despised Him and were jealous of Him.  The Jews delivered Jesus to the ruling authorities (the Romans) and had Him put to death.  Jesus was crucified just outside of the city of Jerusalem on a hill called Golgotha (which means 'place of the skull').  The Bible recounts Jesus' life in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.  If you read the book of Mark (chapters 14 through 16), it will give you a very clear history of Jesus' crucifixion.
