Luke 23:20-24

NSB(i) 20 Pilate spoke to them again desiring to release Jesus. 21 But they shouted, »Impale him! Impale him!« 22 A third time he said to them: »Why, what evil has this man done? I have found no reason to put him to death. I will therefore chastise him and release him.« 23 But they were insistent and spoke in loud voices asking him to impale him. And they prevailed. 24 Pilate pronounced a sentence that what they asked for should be done.
