Matthew 27:26

BarabbasJesus
SufferingThe cross and atonement

24 When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”

25 All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28 They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.
