Matthew

Matthew 27:24–26

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,^c” 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.
