So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; see ye 'to it'.
And Pilat seynge þat he profitide no thing, but þat þe more noyse was maad, took watir, and waischide hise hondis bifor þe puple, and seide, Y am giltles of þe blood of this riytful man; bise you.
