Throughout history, Pontius Pilate has been portrayed as a weak ruler-the man who allowed Jesus Christ to be crucified at the demand of the Jews. But this documentary portrays a very different Pilate, one who had his own motives for allowing Jesus’ fate.
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 (Matthew 27:24).

You can’t start a fight and then just wash your hands of it
Pilate washes his hands Cambridge Dictionary
“Pilate washes his hands” is a phrase that refers to an episode in the Christian Bible, specifically in the New Testament’s Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 27, verses 24-26. Here are some key points about this episode:
The episode takes place during the trial of Jesus Christ, who has been brought before the Roman governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate, on charges of blasphemy and sedition.
Pilate is hesitant to condemn Jesus, as he believes him to be innocent of the charges brought against him. However, he is under pressure from the Jewish authorities and the crowd to have Jesus executed.
In an attempt to absolve himself of responsibility for Jesus’ death, Pilate takes a bowl of water and publicly washes his hands, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves.”
The phrase “Pilate washes his hands” has come to symbolize a person’s attempt to distance themselves from responsibility for a decision or action, even if they know it is morally wrong.
The episode has also been interpreted as a commentary on the nature of guilt and responsibility, and the idea that washing one’s hands does not absolve a person of the consequences of their actions.
The phrase “Pilate washes his hands” has entered into popular culture, and is often used in contexts beyond its original Biblical meaning, to refer to situations where someone is trying to avoid responsibility or shift blame onto others.

“The death of Christ was not because of the Romans in the first place, it was not because of the Jews in the first place, it was because of God. The true power behind the death of the Son of God was neither Roman or Jewish. It wasn’t Pilate; it wasn’t Herod; it wasn’t Caiaphas; it wasn’t Annas; it wasn’t the Sanhedrin; it was God Himself—it was God the Father. And the apostles also knew this and preached this the Day of Pentecost.” – John MacArthur
