Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that a riot was about to break out instead. So he took some water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood. Attend to that yourselves."
Jesus also said, while nailed to the cross, "forgive them for they know not what they do". Jesus is specifically referring to the Roman soldiers and authorities overseeing his murder, because they truly didn't know who Jesus was/is. Jesus was NOT asking for forgiveness for the jews who had been accosting Him for His entire earthly ministry, because they absolutely knew who Jesus was, because Jesus had told them repeatedly, and the Old Testament had been pointing to Jesus the entire time, which the jews denied, and continue to deny to this day.
