²¹ But crying out they said, To the cross with him!

²² Pilate says to them, What, then, am I to do with Jesus, who is named Christ? They all say, Let him be put to death on the cross.

²³ And he said, Why, what evil has he done? But they gave loud cries, saying, To the cross with him!

²⁴ So when Pilate saw that he was able to do nothing, but that trouble was working up, he took water and, washing his hands before the people, said, The blood of this upright man is not on my hands: you are responsible.

²⁵ And all the people made answer and said, Let his blood be on us, and on our children.

¹³ And they said again loudly, To the cross with him!

²³ But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.

¹⁵ Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar.
