Romans 15:8
You have to read further along:
>For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed
If you go back a few chapters to Romans 11:28, which refers to how Gentiles should view jews, there is further context:
>As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs
Jesus was a servant of the jews in that he fulfilled the promises of the Old Testament prophets, and he rewarded the VERY FEW jews who remained faithful. It is explicitly mentioned that the jewish people as a collective called for Christ's crucifixion, with only a handful of his disciples being opposed to it.
Matthew 22-25:
>Pilate asked them, “What should I do then with Jesus, who is called Christ?”
>They all answered, “Crucify him!”
>Then he said, “Why? What has he done wrong?”
>But they kept shouting all the more, “Crucify him!”
>When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that a riot was starting instead, he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. See to it yourselves!”
>All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
