Matthew 27:23-27

23But he said, “Why, what evil has He done?” Yet they kept shouting all the more, saying, “1Crucify Him!”

24Now when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that 2a riot was starting, he took water and 3washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of 4this Man’s blood; 5you yourselves shall see.” 25And all the people replied, “6His blood shall be on us and on our children!” 26Then he released Barabbas 7for them; but after having Jesus 8flogged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

27 9Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into 10the 11Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman 12 13cohort to Him.
