Matthew 27:24-26
Contemporary English Version
24 (A) Pilate saw that there was nothing he could do and that the people were starting to riot. So he took some water and washed his hands[a] in front of them and said, “I won't have anything to do with killing this man. You are the ones doing it!”
25 Everyone answered, “We and our own families will take the blame for his death!”
26 Pilate set Barabbas free. Then he ordered his soldiers to beat Jesus with a whip and nail him to a cross.
