23:18 But they all shouted out together, 3 “Take this man 4 away! Release Barabbas for us!” 23:19 (This 5 was a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection 6 started in the city, and for murder.) 7 23:20 Pilate addressed them once again because he wanted 8 to release Jesus. 23:21 But they kept on shouting, 9 “Crucify, crucify 10 him!” 23:22 A third time he said to them, “Why? What wrong has he done? I have found him guilty 11 of no crime deserving death. 12 I will therefore flog 13 him and release him.” 23:23 But they were insistent, 14 demanding with loud shouts that he be crucified. And their shouts prevailed.
