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 ὅστις ἦν διὰ στάσιν τινὰ γενομένην ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ φόνον βληθεὶς ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ.

20 πάλιν δὲ ὁ Πιλᾶτος προσεφώνησεν, θέλων ἀπολῦσαι τὸν Ἰησοῦν.

21 οἱ δὲ ἐπεφώνουν λέγοντες · Σταύρου σταύρου ⸃ αὐτόν.

22 ὁ δὲ τρίτον εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς · Τί γὰρ κακὸν ἐποίησεν οὗτος; οὐδὲν αἴτιον θανάτου εὗρον ἐν αὐτῷ · παιδεύσας οὖν αὐτὸν ἀπολύσω.

23 οἱ δὲ ἐπέκειντο φωναῖς μεγάλαις αἰτούμενοι αὐτὸν σταυρωθῆναι, καὶ κατίσχυον αἱ φωναὶ αὐτῶν.
