New International Version

Luke 23:15-21 New International Version (NIV)

15. Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death.

16. Therefore, I will punish him and then release him.”

18. But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

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

20. Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again.

21. But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
