23 The procurator said to them, 'But what evil has he done?' But they cried out all the more, saying, 'Let him be crucified.'
24 Then Pilate, seeing that he was able to accomplish nothing, but that a greater tumult was occurring, taking water, washed his hands in the sight of the people, saying: 'I am innocent of the blood of this just man. See to it yourselves.'
25 And the entire people responded by saying, 'May his blood be upon us and upon our children.'
26 Then he released Barabbas to them. But Jesus, having been scourged, he handed over to them, so that he would be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the procurator, taking Jesus up to the praetorium, gathered the entire cohort around him.
