21 O governador lhes perguntou: Qual destes dois quereis que vos solte? E responderam: Barrabás!

22 Pilatos lhes disse: Que, pois, farei de Jesus, que é chamado Cristo? Todos lhe disseram: Seja crucificado!

23 E o governador perguntou: Ora, que mal ele fez? Porém gritavam mais: Seja crucificado!

24 Quando, pois, Pilatos viu que nada adiantava, em vez disso se fazia mais tumulto, ele pegou água, lavou as mãos diante da multidão, e disse: Estou inocente do sangue deste justo. A responsabilidade é vossa.

25 E todo o povo respondeu: O sangue dele [venha] sobre nós, e sobre os nossos filhos.
