Luke 23:19-23 Modern English Version (MEV)

19. This man had been thrown in prison for an insurrection in the city and for murder.

20. Therefore Pilate spoke to them again, desiring to release Jesus.

21. But they cried out, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22. He said to them a third time, “Why, what evil has He done? I have found in Him no cause worthy of death. I will therefore chastise Him and release Him.”

23. But they insisted with loud voices, asking that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed.
