Matthew 27:24-26
Holman Christian Standard Bible
24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere,[a] but that a riot was starting instead, he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, “I am innocent of this man’s blood.[b] See to it yourselves!”(A)
25 All the people answered, “His blood be on us(B) and on our children!” 26 Then he released Barabbas to them. But after having Jesus flogged,[c] he handed Him over to be crucified.(C)
