Matthew 27:24-26 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 man, you shall see to it.

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ 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 man, you shall see [to it]. ²⁵ Then answered all the people, and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children. ²⁶ Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus he delivered him to them that they might crucifie him.
