Matthew 27:23

← Matthew 27:22	Matthew 27:23 (KJV)	Matthew 27:24 →
Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? [They] all say unto him, Let him be crucified.	And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.	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 just person: see ye [to it].
