'Responsible' in the Bible

So when Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but rather that a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands [to ceremonially cleanse himself of guilt] in the presence of the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this [righteous] Man’s blood; see to that yourselves.”

For that reason I testify to you on this [our parting] day that I am innocent of the blood of all people.
