Complicity » Instances of » Pilate, in the death of jesus
So when they had assembled, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?" He knew well that it was because of enmity that they had brought Jesus before him.

So when Pilate said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release unto you?" they said, "Barabbas." And Pilate asked, "What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" What one voice they shouted, "Let him be crucified!" But Pilate said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they kept shouting the more fiercely, "Let him be crucified!" So when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that on the contrary a riot was threatening, he took water and washed his hands in the presence of the crowd, saying. "I am innocent of the blood of this man; you must answer for it." All the people answered, "His blood be upon us and upon our children." Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he scourged, and delivered to be crucified.
he asked them, "Do you wish me to release the King of the Jews?" For he recognized that it was through spite that the high priests had handed him over. But the chief priests incited the crowds to have Barabbas released to them, instead. read more.
So Pilate spoke to them once more, "What them shall I do to him you call 'King of the Jews'?" Then they shouted again, "Crucify him!" "Why, what wrong has he done?" Pilate kept saying.

So Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them. "You brought before me this man as one who incited the people to rebellion.

You see that he has done nothing worthy of death. read more.

Then Pilate spoke to them again, because he wished to release Jesus; but they continued to shout out and say, "Crucify! Crucify him!" For the third time he appealed to them. "But what crime has he committed? I have found in him nothing that deserves death. I will therefore flog him, and let him go." But they kept shouting the more insistently, demanding that he should be crucified, and their shouts won the day. So Pilate gave sentence what they wished should be done.

"Crucify your King?" said Pilate. The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!" read more.
