Luke 23:20-25

Murdock(i) 20 And Pilate, being disposed to release Jesus, conversed with them again. 21 But they cried out, and said: Crucify him; crucify him. 22 And he said to them the third time: But, what evil hath he done? I find no crime in him deserving of death. I will scourge him, therefore, and release him. 23 But they were urgent, with a loud voice; and demanded of him, that they might crucify him. 24 And Pilate decreed, that their request be granted. 25 And he released to them him, who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, for whom they petitioned; and he delivered up Jesus to their pleasure.
