24 Now when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but that instead confusion was increasing, he took water and washed his hands before the people, and said, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; do as you please. 25 All the people then answered and said, Let his blood be on us and on our children. 26 Then he released to them Bar-Abbas, and had Jesus scourged with whips, and delivered to be crucified.
