Lucas 23:23

23 Pero a voz en cuello ellos siguieron insistiendo en que lo crucificara, y con sus gritos se impusieron.

Lucas 23:23 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:23

And they were instant with loud voices
They were urgent, and insisted upon his crucifixion, and pressed hard for it, and exerted their voices, and more loudly called:

requiring him, that he might be crucified:
desiring it in the most importunate manner; signifying, that it must be, that nothing else would content them:

and the voices of them, and the chief priests, prevailed;
upon Pilate to grant their request, contrary to the dictates of his own conscience, the conduct of Herod, and the message of his wife; the people being set on by the chief priests, and the chief priests joining with them, their numbers were so great, and their requests were pressed with so much force, and violence, and importunity, that Pilate could not withstand them.

Lucas 23:23 In-Context

21 pero ellos se pusieron a gritar:—¡Crucifícalo! ¡Crucifícalo!

22 Por tercera vez les habló:—Pero, ¿qué crimen ha cometido este hombre? No encuentro que él sea culpable de nada que merezca la pena de muerte, así que le daré una paliza y después lo soltaré.

23 Pero a voz en cuello ellos siguieron insistiendo en que lo crucificara, y con sus gritos se impusieron.

24 Por fin Pilato decidió concederles su demanda:

25 soltó al hombre que le pedían, el que por insurrección y homicidio había sido echado en la cárcel, y dejó que hicieran con Jesús lo que quisieran.
