22 Pilate replied, what shall I do then with Jesus, who is called Christ? they all cried out, let him be crucified. 23 the governor said, why, what mischief has he done? but they cried out the more, let him be crucified. 24 Pilate perceiving he was so far from prevailing, that they were more tumultuous, he took water, and washed his hands before all the people, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: you are answerable for it. 25 at this all the people cry'd out, "his blood be on us, and on our children." 26 Then he released to them Barabbas: but he order'd Jesus to be scourged, and delivered up to be crucified.
