Inner Accountability in Pilate's Handwashing

Matthew 27:24-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 27 in context

Scripture Focus

24When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
25Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
Matthew 27:24-25

Biblical Context

Pilate washes his hands, declaring innocence, while the crowd claims collective responsibility. The verse shows how we often cast blame outside ourselves.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe the scene as a mirror of your inner courtroom. Pilate's act of washing hands is not cleansing the world; it is the mind's attempt to evade responsibility by washing away the sense of guilt. The crowd's cry, 'His blood be on us,' is your own projection when you forget that the I AM is the sole author of reality. In Neville's psychology, awareness creates; you do not cast blame on others—you revise your assumption about who you are and what you have done. If you resolve to stand as the I AM witnessing this drama and to accept that the 'innocent' you cannot be harmed by any scene, then the urge to disown becomes a signal to revise. The true sacrifice is not an event outside you, but your willingness to forgive the belief that separation governs life. The blood belongs to the thought that life is shared with a cause-less, boundless consciousness; once you own that, the judgment dissolves and redemption flows as a natural state of being.

Practice This Now

Assume, right now, that you are the I AM witnessing this scene and that you can revise the assumption that blame exists. Feel the sense of ownership rising as you soften the old judgment and allow a new ending to emerge.
