Matthew 27:23-27

23He asked, “Why? What wrong has he done?” But they shouted more insistently, “Crucify him!”

24When Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but that instead a riot was starting, he took some water, washed his hands before the crowd and said, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. You take care of it yourselves!”

25In reply all the people said, “Let his blood be on us and on our children!”

26Then he released Barabbas for them. But after he had Jesus flogged, he handed him over to be crucified.

27Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the governor’s residence and gathered the whole cohort around him.
