Not that Satan was not ultimately behind it, but everyone should be familiar with just how explicit the New Testament is about the circumstances. From Matthew 27:
Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.... Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said, “Let him be crucified!”... So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves.” And all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
