In context
19Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an uprising that had taken place in the city, and for murder. 20Pilate appealed to them again, wanting to release Jesus, 21but they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” 22A third time he said to them, “Why? What wrong has this man done? I have found in him nothing that deserves death. So I will have him flogged and release him.” 23But they pressed him with loud cries, demanding that he be crucified, and their shouting won the day.
