Luke 23:18-21 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

18. The whole crowd cried out, “Kill him! Set Barabbas free for us!”

19. (Barabbas had been put in prison for a riot that had taken place in the city, and for murder.)

20. Pilate wanted to set Jesus free, so he appealed to the crowd again.

21. But they shouted back, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
