Duccio's Maesta |

When
Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was
made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying,
I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. Note: the washing of hands is a familiar part of the story, but it is only mentioned in Matthew's gospel. |
