8. Soap. 
Story: Pilate washes his hands. Matthew 27:11-26.
Hymn: No Tramp of Soldiers’ Marching Feet (This is a fairly modern Lutheran hymn that I found when looking for songs about Pilate. It's set to a well-known tune - Kingsfold - and I really like it. I wish it were more well-known! I couldn't find any lead sheets or free sheet music, but here is a chord chart I worked out, and here's a video of a choir singing it. We sing it in a more folksy-style and with a lot quicker tempo with the kids.)
