Luke 23:24 In-Context

22 So he said to them a third [time], "Why? What wrong has this man done? I found no basis for an accusation {deserving death} in him. Therefore I will punish him [and] release [him]."

23 But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries [that] he be crucified. And their cries prevailed.

24 And Pilate decided [that] their demand should be granted.
