Isaiah 53:2 also says that the Servant of God has to be
not so interesting to derive the attention against him (by the his same enemies):
He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him.
So also here the only left reason to kill him was the his mere presence as an
intruder. The his alien nature in a context of total enmity against him.
Also according to Wisdom 2:12-20, the killers hate the Just one for the his so alien nature.
12 Let us lie in wait for the righteous one, because he is annoying to us;
he opposes our actions,
Reproaches us for transgressions of the law
and charges us with violations of our training.
13 He professes to have knowledge of God
and styles himself a child of the Lord.
14 To us he is the censure of our thoughts;
merely to see him is a hardship for us,
15 Because his life is not like that of others,
and different are his ways.
16 He judges us debased;
he holds aloof from our paths as from things impure.
He calls blest the destiny of the righteous
and boasts that God is his Father.
17 Let us see whether his words be true;
let us find out what will happen to him in the end.
18 For if the righteous one is the son of God, God will help him
and deliver him from the hand of his foes.
19 With violence and torture let us put him to the test
that we may have proof of his gentleness
and try his patience.
20 Let us condemn him to a shameful death;
for according to his own words, God will take care of him.”
in particular, what is hateful of the Just is the his possession of the Gnosis of God. So this recalls the Naassean Hymn:
And Jesus said: O Father, see!
[Behold] the struggle still of ills on earth!
Far from Thy Breath away she wanders!
She seeks to flee the bitter Chaos,
And knows not how she shall pass through.
Wherefore, send me, O Father!
Seals in my hands, I will descend;
Through Æons universal will I make a Path;
Through Mysteries all I'll open up a Way!
And Forms of Gods will I display;
The secrets of the Holy Path I will hand on,
And call them Gnosis.
This resembles also Acts 10:38:
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
"
doing good and healing all", in a previous phase, was to reveal salvific Gnosis. This was given to the same archons, according to Basilides:
The Son of the Archon of the Ogdoad tells the Son of the Archon of the Hebdomad, and he again tells his father. Thus both spheres, including the 365 heavens and their chief Archon, Abrasax, know the truth. This knowledge is not conveyed through the Hebdomad to Jesus, the Son of Mary, who through his life and death redeemed the third Filiation, that is: what is material must return to the Chaos, what is psychic to the Hebdomad, what is spiritual to the Not-Being God. When the third Filiation is thus redeemed, the Supreme God pours out a blissful Ignorance over all that is and that shall so remain forever. This is called "The Restoration of all things".

So the original Jesus's ministry was to vehicle the knowledge of the Father in any sphere by him visited before the final sphere where the crucifixion happened.
It was not a disturbance in the temple to cause the crucifixion, but the giving of Gnosis. This was not a miracle or an exorcism, but the partial revelation of the nature of the Father. The archons killed the Son
because they didn't want to know.
In this sense alone the "Jews" could replace them as killers of Jesus: by not becoming Christians, they rejected the gnosis, so they became
ipso facto killers of Jesus.
Note that the Romans became killers (in the Gospel) just in virtue of their essential
blindness.
