Matthew 27:22-24
Lexham English Bible
22 Pilate said to them, “What then should I do with Jesus, the one who is called Christ?” They all said, “Let him be crucified!” 23 And he said, “Why? What wrong has he done?” But they began to shout[a] even louder, saying, “Let him be crucified!”
24 So Pilate, when he[b] saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but instead an uproar was developing, took water and[c] washed his[d] hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this man. You see to it!”[e]
