Luke 23:16-23
-
16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
-
17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
-
18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
-
19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
-
20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
-
21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
-
22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
-
23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
