“As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.”
Luke 23:25 (BSB)
Context Reading
23But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed. 24So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met. 25As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will. 26As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus. 27A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.
