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."
And all the people answered and said, "His blood be on us, and on our
children."
And they were urgent with loud voices asking that he might be
crucified. And their voices prevailed.
And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, gave sentence that what
they asked for should be done. And he released unto them Barabbas, him
that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they
asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.
And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put
on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him.
