Luke 23:20-25
-
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.
-
24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
-
25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
