Luke 23:21 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:21

But they cried, saying, crucify him, crucify him.
] They were fierce and furious, more noisy and clamorous, the more they perceived Pilate was for saving him; and they were more desirous to have him crucified, and more impatient until it was done, as the repetition of the word shows.

Luke 23:21 In-Context

19 who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and [for] murder, had been cast into prison

20 Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed [them].

21 But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him

22 And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this [man] done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.

23 But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices [and those of the chief priests] prevailed.
