Luke 23:21

But they cried, saying, crucify him, crucify him.

Luke 23:21 In-Context

19 (He was a man who had been thrown in prison for causing a riot in the city and for murder.) Pilat

20 appealed to them again, because he wanted to release Yeshua.

21 But they yelled, "Put him to death on the stake! Put him to death on the stake!

22 A third time he asked them, "But what has this man done wrong? I haven't found any reason to put him to death. So I'm going to have him flogged and set free."
