Pilate addressed them once again because he wanted to release Jesus.
But they kept on shouting,“Crucify, crucify him!”
A third time he said to them,“Why? What wrong has he done? I have found him guilty of no crime deserving death. I will therefore flog him and release him.”

He released the man they asked for, who had been thrown in prison for insurrection and murder. But he handed Jesus over to their will.
