MATTHEW 27:22-25
Pilate responded, “Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?”
They shouted back,“Crucify him!”
“Why?” Pilate demanded. “What crime has he committed?”
But the mob roared even louder,“CRUCIFY HIM!”
Pilate saw that he wasn’t getting anywhere and that a riot was developing. So he sent for a bowl of water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. The responsibility is yours!”
nd all the people yelled back,“We will take responsibility for his death—we and our children!”

JOHN 8:39-47
“Our father is Abraham!” they declared.
“No,”Jesus replied, “for if you were really the children of Abraham, you would follow his example. Instead, you are trying to kill me because I told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing. No, you areimitatingyour real father.”
They replied, “We aren’t illegitimate children! God himself is our true Father.”
Jesus told them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, because I have come to you from God. I am not here on my own, but he sent me. Why can’t you understand what I am saying? It’s because you can’t even hear me!For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does.He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don’t believe me! Which of you can truthfully accuse me of sin? And since I am telling you the truth, why don’t you believe me? Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God.But you don’t listen because you don’t belong to God.”
