Matthew 27:20-25
27:20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed.
27:21 The
governor asked them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas!”
27:22 Pilate said to them, “Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Christ?”
They all said, “Crucify him!”
27:23 He asked, “Why? What wrong has he done?” But they shouted more insistently, “Crucify him!”
Jesus is Condemned and Mocked
27:24 When Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but that instead a riot was starting, he took some water, washed his hands before the crowd and said, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. You take care of it yourselves!”
27:25 In reply all the people said, “Let his blood be on us and on our children!”
Mark 15:11-14
15:11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release
Barabbas instead.
15:12 So Pilate spoke to them again,
“Then what do you want me to do
with the one you call king of the Jews?”
15:13 They shouted back, “Crucify
him!”
15:14 Pilate asked them, “Why? What has he done wrong?” But they shouted more insistently, “Crucify him!”
