Luke 23:22

Justice

20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21 but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”

23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24 So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.
