“Crucify him!” the crowd shouted.
“Then what should I do with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.
“Why? What wrong has he done?” asked Pilate. But they shouted even louder, “Crucify him!”
But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
The people and their rulers had no reason at all for sentencing Jesus to death. But they asked Pilate to have him killed.
