Luke 23:18-25

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

¹⁸ But they cried-out all-together, saying, “Take away this One, and release Barabbas for us”— ¹⁹ who had been thrown in prison because of a certain rebellion^[a] having taken place in the city, and murder. ²⁰ And again Pilate addressed them, wanting to release Jesus. ²¹ But the ones were calling-out, saying “Crucify, crucify Him!” ²² And a third time the one said to them, “What indeed^[b] did this One do wrong? I found no guilt worthy of death in Him. Therefore, having disciplined Him, I will release Him”. ²³ But the ones were pressing-upon him with loud voices, asking that He be crucified. And their voices were prevailing. ²⁴ And Pilate decided^[c] that their request should be done. ²⁵ And he released the one having been thrown into prison because of rebellion and murder, whom they were asking-for. And he handed-over Jesus to their will.
