20. Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed them.
21. But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.
22. And 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.
23. But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.
24. And Pilate adjudged that what they begged should take place.
25. And he released him who, for tumult and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they begged for, and Jesus he delivered up to their will.
