Compare all
21 The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, a“Barabbas!”  
22 Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”
23 Then the governor said, a“Why, what evil has He done?” But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”  
24 When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a1 tumult was rising, he atook water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this2 just Person. You see to it.”  
25 And all the people answered and said, a“His blood be on us and on our children.”  
26 Then he released Barabbas to them; and when ahe had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.

Matthew 27:23

What evil hath he done? - Pilate plainly saw that there was nothing laid to his charge for which, consistently with the Roman laws, he could condemn him.

But they cried out the more - What strange fury and injustice! They could not answer Pilate' s question, What evil hath he done? He had done none, and they knew he had done none; but they are determined on his death.
