Luke 23:18-25
Christian Standard Bible
18 Then(A) they all cried out together, “Take this man away!(B) Release Barabbas to us!” 19 (He had been thrown into prison for a rebellion that had taken place in the city, and for murder.)
20 Wanting to release Jesus,(C) Pilate addressed them again, 21 but they kept shouting, “Crucify! Crucify him!”

23 But they kept up the pressure, demanding with loud voices that he be crucified, and their voices[a] won out. 24 So(F) Pilate decided to grant their demand(G) 25 and released the one they were asking for, who had been thrown into prison for rebellion and murder. But he handed Jesus over to their will.(H)
