Luke 23:23-25

Worldwide English (New Testament)

²³ But they shouted all the more loudly, saying, `Nail him to a cross!' And Pilate gave in to their shouting.

²⁴ So he said they could have it their way.

²⁵ He let the other man go free. (He was the one who had been put in prison because he fought and had killed a man. He was the one the people asked Pilate to let go free.) And Pilate did to Jesus what they wanted him to do.
