To be crucified was indeed considered the worst kind of punishment. I thought that was the point.

It could be said that Jesus committed suicide by Roman authorities, by "king of the Jews," and tossing the money changers in the temple.
When the Jews condemned blasphemy they killed by stoning. That might have been a more humane way to go than the cross.
The Jews lost their claim of being God's chosen race, by being so heartless and hateful.
But anyway, Jesus went willingly to his death on a cross. Today that's called suicide by cops.
