Mathayo 27:24

Pilato alipoona kwamba hawezi kufanya lolote, lakini badala yake ghasia zilikuwa zinaanza, akachukua maji, akanawa mikono yake mbele ya ule umati wa watu, akasema, “Sina hatia juu ya damu ya mtu huyu, hili ni jukumu lenu!”

¶ When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
