Matthew 27:24-25

Pilate Delivers Jesus to Be Crucified

24 So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man's blood;[1] see to it yourselves.” 25 And all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
