Matthew 27:24-26 – “His Blood Come Upon Us!”

|| Mark 15:15; Luke 23:24, 25; John 19:1

MT27:24 Realizing none of this accomplished anything but only aroused the mob more, Pilate took water and washed off his hands opposite the mob, telling them, “I am innocent of this man’s blood.[1] You do as you please.” MT27:25 After Pilate responded, all the people said, “His blood come upon us and upon our own children!” MT27:26 Then Pilate released Barabbas to them but had Jesus whipped[2] and handed over for execution.[3]

*

[1] I am innocent of this man’s blood: Or, KNX: I have no part in the death of this innocent man; WEY: I am not responsibility for this bloodshed.

[2] Whipped: Or, KJV: scourged; NEB: flogged. Compare 1 Peter 2:24. John 19:3 adds, “Also, they would give him slaps in the face.”

[3] Execution: The Greek is STAUROTHE or ‘put upon a stake (cross).’
