"Away with this man," they said, "and release Barabbas to us" 20 But Pilate once more addressed them, wishing to set Jesus free. 21 They, however, persistently shouted, "Crucify, crucify him!" 22 A third time he appealed to them: "Why, what crime has the man committed?

I will therefore give him a light punishment and release him." 23 But they urgently insisted, demanding with frantic outcries that He should be crucified; and their clamour prevailed.
