Pilate Washes His Hands
|

24 When Pilate saw that
he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water
and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood,"
he said. "It is your responsibility!"
25 All the people answered, "Let his
blood be on us and on our children!"
Matthew 27:24-25
