Matthew 27:25

21But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

22Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”

23But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”

24So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

25All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”

26Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

27Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

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

29They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
