22 Pilate said to them, |What then should I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?| They all said, |Let him be crucified.| 23 But he said, |Why? What evil has he done?| But they shouted all the louder, saying, |Let him be crucified.| 24 So Pilate, seeing that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, took water and he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, |I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. You see to it.| 25 All the people answered, |May his blood be on us, and on our children.| 26 Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
