Luke 23:18-25

Lamsa(i) 18 But all the people cried out saying, Get rid of him, and release to us Bar-Abbas; 19 Who because of sedition and murder which had happened in the city, was cast into prison. 20 Again Pilate spoke to them, desiring to release Jesus. 21 But they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. 22 And he said to them the third time, What evil has he done? I have found nothing in him, worthy of death; I will therefore chastise him, and release him. 23 But they persisted with loud voices, and asked to crucify him. And their voice and that of the high priests prevailed. 24 Then Pilate commanded to have their request granted. 25 So he released to them the one who because of sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they asked for; and he delivered Jesus to their will.
