Matthew 27:22-24

Living Bible

²² “Then what shall I do with Jesus, your Messiah?” Pilate asked.

And they shouted, “Crucify him!”

²³ “Why?” Pilate demanded. “What has he done wrong?” But they kept shouting, “Crucify! Crucify!”

²⁴ When Pilate saw that he wasn’t getting anywhere and that a riot was developing, he sent for a bowl of water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this good man. The responsibility is yours!”
