Luke 23:21 in context

The verses around it, from Luke 23.

17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

18 But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19 (Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21 but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22 A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”

23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24 So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25 As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and handed Jesus over to their will.
