New Testament

Matthew 27:24-28 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

24. When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this Man's blood; see to that yourselves."

25. And all the people said, "His blood shall be on us and on our children!"

26. Then he released Barabbas for them; but after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

27. Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman cohort around Him.

28. They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.
