Matthew 27:20-23

20Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

21The governor again said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas."

22Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified!"

23And he said, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Let him be crucified!"
