    Wash my hands of it
    commonly, when someone has attempted to avert a wrong and it continues anyway, he states, “I wash my hands of the issue”, indicating that he is clean and not to blame. This comes from Jesus’ trial, as recorded in Matthew 27:24. Pontius Pilate, who was in charge of sentencing Christ, claimed that Jesus was innocent as far as he could tell. However, the crowds pushed to have Him executed. “When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, ‘I am innocent of this Man’s blood; see to that yourselves.’
