Luke 23:20-22

New Testament for Everyone

²⁰ Pilate spoke to them again, with the intention of letting Jesus go, ²¹ but they shouted back, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”

²² “Why?” he said for the third time. “What’s he done wrong? I can’t find anything he’s done that deserves death, so I’m going to beat him and let him go.”
