In order to visually show that Pilate shook off any responsibility for Jesus' crucifixion, what did he do in front of the crowd?
Answer He washed his hands
Pilate washed his hands in front of the people to say "I wash my hands of this situation," as if he was cleansing his hands of guilt. Of course, he didn't and he was still responsible.
