And He answering said to him, "You say [it]." 3And the chief priests were accusing Him of many things, [but He answered nothing.] 4And Pilate again questioned Him, saying, "You do not answer anything? Behold, how many things they testify against You!" 5And Jesus no longer answered anything, so that Pilate wondered. 6And at every celebration he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking for; 7and there was [one] named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. 8And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them, 9and Pilate answered them, saying, "Will you [that] I will release to you the King of the Jews?" 10For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up because of envy;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Pilate said unto them,.... The third time,
Luke 23:22;
why, what evil hath he done? worthy of death. They had charged him with many things, but proved nothing against him. Pilate could find no fault in him, and judged him an innocent person, and therefore was loth to condemn him:
and they cried out the more exceedingly; with louder voices, and greater vehemency, the more they found he was inclined to save him:
crucify him; nothing short of death would satisfy them, and no other death but that of the cross; Luke 23:22- :,
Luke 23:22- :.
