Matthew 27:25 "All the people answered, 'His blood is on us and on our children!' " Pontius Pilate was the judge of Jesus' trial, It was tradition to allow the public to choose which criminal to release and the highs priests and teachers of the law convinced the public to choose another Jesus (Jesus Barabbas). Pilate did as the crowd requested and released Jesus Barabbas, and had Jesus Christ crucified, but before he did this Pilate literally washed his hands and told everyone that an innocent man's blood won't be on his hands, hence the people saying "His blood is on us and on our children."
