On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

6 , I will wash my hands in innocency; but if Pilate had any eye to it ( Matt. xxvii. 24 ) he wretchedly misapplied it when he condemned Christ, knowing him to be innocent, and yet acquitted himself from the guilt of innocent blood. Protestatio non valet contra factum--Protestations are of no avail when contradicted by fact.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

They shall answer - To the priests who shall examine them. This blood - This about which the present enquiry is made: or this which is here present: for it is thought the corps of the slain man was brought into the same place where the heifer was slain.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
