Luke 23:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ But the crowd all shouted together, ‘Take this man away and kill him! We want Barabbas to go free.’

¹⁹ Barabbas had fought against the Roman rulers in Jerusalem. He had also killed somebody. That is why the rulers had put him in prison. ²⁰ But Pilate still wanted to let Jesus go. So he spoke to the crowd again.
