Pi-late said, Which one shall I set free—Ba-rab-bas, or Je-sus, who is called Christ?
PI-LATE WASH-ING HIS HANDS.
While Pi-late spoke, his wife sent word to him to do no harm to that just man, for she had had a strange dream a-bout him. But the chief priests urged the mob to ask that Ba-rab-bas be set free.
Pi-late said, What then shall I do with Je-sus, who is called Christ?
They cried out, Hang him! Hang him!
When Pi-late saw that he could not get them to ask for Je-sus, he took some wa-ter and washed his hands in full view of the mob, and said, I am not to blame for the death of this just man; see ye to it.
Then the Jews said, Let his blood be on us and on our chil-dren.
