Pilate replied to Him, “What is truth?” After saying this, Pilate again went outside to the Jews and said to them, “I do not find him guilty of any crime.
So, when Pilate saw that he was not convincing anyone, but that a riot was brewing instead, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd saying, “I am not responsible for this man’s blood. [Note: Some ancient manuscripts say “righteous man’s blood”]. You tend to the matter.”
Now Pilate went outside again and said to the Jewish authorities, “Look, I am bringing him out here to you, so you can know that I do not find him guilty of any crime.”
Then, when the leading priests and the [Temple] guards saw Him, they shouted out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate responded by saying, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, because I do not find him guilty of any crime.”
Now when the people heard about the resurrection from the dead, some of them made fun of it, but others said, “We would like to hear [more] from you about this again.”
