But he said, "Why, what evil has He done?" Yet they kept shouting all the more, saying, "Crucify Him!"

And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

Now 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; you yourselves shall see."
