Luke 23:16-23

MNT(i) 16 I will therefore, after flogging him, release him." 17 "Now he had to release to them at the feast one prisoner." 18 Then the whole crowd shouted out, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas." 19 (This was a man who had been thrown in prison on account of a riot which had occurred in the city, and for murder.) 20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, because he wished to release Jesus; 21 but they continued to shout out and say, "Crucify! Crucify him!" 22 For the third time he appealed to them. "But what crime has he committed? I have found in him nothing that deserves death. I will therefore flog him, and let him go." 23 But they kept shouting the more insistently, demanding that he should be crucified, and their shouts won the day.
