Then Pilate gave Jesus over to them to be crucified

Though it was Roman soldiers who actually crucified Jesus, word "them" here refers to "the Jews" John 19:14, whom Pilate allowed to crucify Jesus. You can translate this in an active form. Alternate translation: "So Pilate gave the Jews power over Jesus so they could crucify Jesus" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
