Matthew 27:22 WEB

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

²¹  But the governor answered them, 'Which of the two do you want me to release to you?' They said, 'Barabbas!'

²²  Pilate said to them, 'What then shall I do to Jesus, who is called Christ?' They all said to him, 'Let him be crucified!'

²³  But the governor said, 'Why? What evil has he done?' But they cried out exceedingly, saying, 'Let him be crucified!'

²⁴  So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, 'I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.'
