Matthew 27:24

When ¹  Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but that instead a riot was starting, he took some water, washed his hands before the crowd and said, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. You take care of it yourselves!” ² 

De 21:6,7; Job 9:30,31; Ps 26:6; Jer 2:27,35; Mt 27:4,9,54; Joh 19:4; Ac 3:14; 2Co 5:21; 1Pe 3:18

¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

² sn You take care of it yourselves! Compare the response of the chief priests and elders to Judas in 27:4. The expression is identical except that in 27:4 it is singular and here it is plural.
