Pilate ended up on center stage with the opportunity to take responsibility and make the right choice.
(Verse 24)
24When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!"
However making the right choice and saving an innocent man would have cost him personally and politically. The easy way out was to "Wash his hands of the situation"
In a few words:
Our actions speak volumes about our character.
