16Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”
18But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”
19(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
20Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,
21but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”
22A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”
23But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.
