16Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.” 17[Now he was obligated to release to them at the feast one prisoner.]
18But they cried out all together, saying, “Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas!” 19(He was one who had been thrown into prison for a revolt that took place in the city, and for murder.) 20But Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again, 21but they kept on crying out, saying, “Crucify, crucify Him!” 22And he said to them a third time, “Why, what has this Man done wrong? I have found in His case no grounds for a sentence of death; therefore I will punish Him and release Him.” 23But they were insistent, with loud voices, demanding that He be crucified. And their voices began to prevail.
