Luke 23:16-23

LEB(i) 16 Therefore I will punish him and* release him."* * 18 But they all cried out in unison, saying, "Take this man away, and release for us Barabbas!" 19 (who had been thrown in prison because of a certain insurrection that had taken place in the city, and for murder). 20 And Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them** again, 21 but they kept crying out, saying, "Crucify! Crucify him!" 22 So he said to them a third time, "Why? What wrong has this man done? I found no basis for an accusation deserving death* in him. Therefore I will punish him and* release him."* 23 But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he be crucified. And their cries prevailed.
