24
So when Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves."
25
Then the people as a whole answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!"
[a].
Other ancient authorities read [this righteous blood], or [this righteous man's blood]
