  • Having been raised an evangelical (don’t worry, I recovered) I can tell you the Bible verse they use to justify that view.

    Jesus stands before Pontius Pilate and the Jewish people in audience. Pilate tries to get Jesus out of crucifixion but the crowd won’t have it:

    This part only happens in the telling in Matthew;

    Matthew 27:24-26

    24 So when Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves.”

    25 Then the people as a whole answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

    26 So he released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus, he handed him over to be crucified.

    Again, I believe non of this. Just thought you might appreciate the back story if you didn’t know it already.
