Well, not to quibble, but Matthew can at least reasonably be read to agree with John on who it was that wanted to kill Jesus:
Quote:

Mat 27:25 And all the people answering said, His blood [be] on us and on our children.

My point was that sweeping term is John's, which I was surprised to discover.
"for fear of the Jews" is a Johannine term of art, whatever it might mean precisely....
