Luke 23:18-23

18But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this [man] and release Barabbas to us;

19who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and [for] murder, had been cast into prison.

20Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed [them].

21But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.

22And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this [man] done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.

23But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices [and those of the chief priests] prevailed.
