Matthew:27:20-25

*
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas ,
and destroy Jesus .
*
The governor answered and said unto them ,
Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you ?
They said ,
Barabbas .
*
Pilate saith unto them ,
What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ ?
They all say unto him ,
Let him be crucified .
*
And the governor said ,
Why ,
what evil hath he done ?
But they cried out the more ,
saying ,
Let him be crucified .
*
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing ,
but that rather a tumult was made ,
he took water ,
and washed his hands before the multitude ,
saying ,
I am innocent of the blood of this just person :
see ye to it .
*
Then answered all the people ,
and said ,
His blood be on us ,
and on our children .
