Luke 23:18-25

Williams(i) 18 But they all together began to shout, "Away with this fellow, but let us have Barabbas released! 19 (He was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had occurred in the city and for murder.) 20 Then Pilate again appealed to them, for He wanted to let Jesus go. 21 But they continued to shout at him, "Crucify Him, crucify Him? 22 Then a third time he spoke to them, "Why, what wrong has He done? I have found nothing in Him deserving the death penalty. So I will flog Him and let Him go." 23 But they continued to press him with loud voices in their ceaseless demands that He be crucified, and their shouts began to prevail. 24 Then Pilate pronounced his sentence that their demand be carried out. 25 So he released the man who had been put in prison for riot and murder, whom they continued to demand, but turned Jesus over to their will.
