Luke 23:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ Barabbas had fought against the Roman rulers in Jerusalem. He had also killed somebody. That is why the rulers had put him in prison. ²⁰ But Pilate still wanted to let Jesus go. So he spoke to the crowd again. ²¹ But they continued to shout. They were shouting, ‘Kill him on a cross, kill him on a cross.’^[a]
