Bible verse
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.”
Luke 23:22 · BSB
The verses around it, from Luke 23.
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.
26 As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.
