19. a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city and for murder.
20. Pilate addressed them once more, desiring to release Jesus,
21. but they kept shouting, “Crucify, crucify him!”
22. A third time he said to them, “Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no guilt deserving death. I will therefore punish and release him.”
23. But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified. And their voices prevailed.
24. So Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
