Luke 23:23-25

New Testament for Everyone

²³ But they went on shouting out at the tops of their voices, demanding that he be crucified; and eventually their shouts won the day. ²⁴ Pilate gave his verdict that their request should be granted. ²⁵ He released the man they asked for, the one who’d been thrown into prison because of rebellion and murder, and gave Jesus over to their demands.
