Matthew 27:24
When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”

One song meets this passage
“We tried to wash our hands of all of this”
The Freshmen · The Verve Pipe
strains against Matthew 27:24
