Give us Barabbas!" ¹⁹ Now Barabbas was in jail because he had started a riot in the city and had murdered someone. ²⁰ Pilate wanted to set Jesus free, so he spoke again to the crowds. ²¹ But they kept shouting, "Nail him to a cross!

I will have him beaten with a whip and set free." ²³ The people kept on shouting as loud as they could for Jesus to be put to death.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But they cried, saying, crucify him, crucify him. They were fierce and furious, more noisy and clamorous, the more they perceived Pilate was for saving him; and they were more desirous to have him crucified, and more impatient until it was done, as the repetition of the word shows.
