18 But they shouted one and all, "Away with him! Release Bar-Abbas for us!"
19 (This was a man who had been put into prison on account of a riot which had taken place in the city and also on a charge of murder.)
20 Again Pilate addressed them, for he wanted to release Jesus,
21 but they roared, "To the cross, to the cross with him!"
22 He asked them a third time, "But what crime has he committed? I have found nothing about him that deserves death; so I shall release him with a whipping."
23 But they loudly urged their demand that he should be crucified, and their shouts carried the day.
24 Pilate gave sentence that their demand was to be carried out;
25 he released the man they wanted, the man who had been imprisoned for riot and murder, and Jesus he handed over to their will.
