However if one reads the texts that is not exactly accurate, as Pilate washed his hands of the killing of Jesus Christ. - Pilate was willing to let Jesus Christ go after a public whipping. It was the chief priests and scribes of the temple, who moved against Jesus Christ to have him crucified. They even worked up the crowd when Pilate offered them a choice to free a prisoner during the feast of Passover (Barabbas or Jesus Christ).

The Scribes and Chief Priests when they asked Jesus by what authority is he kicking out the merchants inside the temple and performing miracles.Mark 11:27-33 - "And they came into Jerusalem again; and as he was walking in the temple-precinct the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him and said to him “By what authority are you doing these things? or who gave you this authority to do these things?” But Jesus said to them “I will put one question to you; answer me and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. Was John’s baptizing from heaven or from men? answer me.” And they went over the question to themselves, thinking “If we say ‘From heaven’ he will say ‘Then why did you not believe him?’ but shall we say ‘From men’?”—they were afraid of the populace, for one and all looked on John as having been a real prophet. And they answered Jesus “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them “And neither do I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
