Matthew 27:20-23

20But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed.

21The governor asked them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas!”

22Pilate said to them, “Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Christ?” They all said, “Crucify him!”

23He asked, “Why? What wrong has he done?” But they shouted more insistently, “Crucify him!”
