Matthew 27:22 ASV

²⁰  Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

²¹  But the governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.

²²  Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.

²³  And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.

²⁴  So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; see ye 'to it'.
