20 But the chief priests and leaders persuaded the crowd to ask for the release of Barabbas and the execution of Jesus.

21 The governor asked them, |Which of the two do you want me to free for you?| They said, |Barabbas.|

22 Pilate asked them, |Then what should I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?| |He should be crucified!| they all said.

23 Pilate asked, |Why? What has he done wrong?| But they began to shout loudly, |He should be crucified!|
