Matthew 27:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 [a]When Pilate saw that he availed nothing, but that more tumult was made, he took water and [b]washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the [c]blood of this just man: look you to it.
25 Then answered all the people, and said, [d]His blood be on us, and on our children.
26 Thus let he Barabbas loose unto them, and scourged Jesus, and delivered him to be crucified.
