Luke 23:13-21

MSB(i) 13 Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people, 14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him. 15 Neither has Herod, for I sent you back to him. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death. 16 Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.” 17 Now Pilate was obliged to release to the people one prisoner at the feast. 18 But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!” 19 (Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.) 20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again, 21 but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”
