The Fathers on this verse
Tertullian The Five Books Against Marcion, Christ's Millennial and Heavenly Glory in Company with His Saints

The Fathers are given as they wrote. Where a passage lays the Passion on the Jewish people, the Church teaches that it cannot be charged against all the Jews then living, nor against the Jews of today, and that all sinners were its authors (CCC 597, 598).
