Matthew 27:23-26

²³“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

²⁴When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”

²⁵All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

²⁶So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.
