Matthew 27:20-25

JuliaSmith(i) 20 And the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 21 And the leader having answered, said to them, Which of the two will ye I shall loose to you? And they said, Barabbas. 22 Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified., 23 And the leader said, For what evil hath he done? and they cried excessively, saying, Let him be crucified. 24 And Pilate, seeing that it profits nothing, but there is rather an uproar, having taken water, he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this just one: ye shall see yourselves. 25 And all the people having answered, said, His blood upon us, and upon our children.
