Matthew 27:24-26

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Pilate Hands Jesus over to Be Crucified

²⁴ So when Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood;^[a] see to it yourselves.’ ²⁵ Then the people as a whole answered, ‘His blood be on us and on our children!’ ²⁶ So he released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus, he handed him over to be crucified.
