Luke 23:16–25
New Revised Standard Version: Updated EditionOther versions
16I will therefore have him flogged and release him.”t*
18Then they all shouted out together, “Away with this fellow! Release Barabbas for us!”* 19(This was a man who had been put in prison for an insurrection that had taken place in the city and for murder.) 20Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again, 21but they kept shouting, “Crucify, crucify him!” 22A third time he said to them, “Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no ground for the sentence of death; I will therefore have him flogged and then release him.”* 23But they kept urgently demanding with loud shouts that he should be crucified, and their voices prevailed. 24So Pilate gave his verdict that their demand should be granted. 25He released the man they asked for, the one who had been put in prison for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over as they wished.
