Pilate speaks --
I wash my hands of it, you see to it. Wash my hands! That’s what I said. ‘I wash my hands of it!’ What did they expect me to say? This wasn’t my responsibility. Oh, I know what they wanted. They wanted him dead and we Romans took away their power to sentence their own to death. So they tried to twist me around and get me to do it! Filthy Jews. Hypocrites. They succeeded too, didn’t they? They have their bloodletting! “Let his blood be upon us and our children,” they cried. Oh, it will be! It will be because I washed my hands of it. I wasn’t going to be the cause of his death. No, not me. Caught up in their petty problems. Ridiculous.
I’m innocent, I tell you! I tried to give him a way out, but he wouldn’t follow my leading. What was I supposed to do? I questioned him. Or I tried to. But he just stood there. Silent. Come on, Jesus, help me! Speak up! Give me a reason not to have you slaughtered like an innocent lamb! ...
