²⁰ But Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again, ²¹ but they kept on crying out, saying, “Crucify, crucify Him!” ²² And he said to them a third time, “Why, what has this Man done wrong? I have found ^[a]in His case no grounds for a sentence of death; therefore I will ^[b](A)punish Him and release Him.” ²³ But they were insistent, with loud voices, demanding that He be crucified. And their voices began to prevail. ²⁴ And so Pilate decided to have their demand carried out. ²⁵ And he released the man for whom they were asking, who had been thrown into prison for a revolt and murder; but he handed Jesus over to their will.

²³ this Man, delivered over by the ^(A)predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, ^(B)you nailed to a cross by the hands of ^[a]godless men and put Him to death. ^24 [b]But ^(C)God raised Him from the dead, putting an end to the ^[c]agony of death, since it ^(D)was impossible for Him to be held ^[d]in its power. ²⁵ For David says of Him,

²⁹ “^[h]Brothers, I may confidently say to you regarding the ^(H)patriarch David that he both ^(I)died and ^(J)was buried, and ^(K)his tomb is ^[i]with us to this day. ³⁰ So because he was ^(L)a prophet and knew that ^(M)God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one ^[j]of his descendants on his throne, ³¹ he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the ^[k]Christ, that ^(N)He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh ^[l]suffer decay. ³² It is this Jesus whom ^(O)God raised up, ^[m]a fact to which we are all ^(P)witnesses. ³³ Therefore, ^[n]since He has been exalted ^[o](Q)at the right hand of God, and ^(R)has received ^(S)the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He has ^(T)poured out this which you both see and hear. ³⁴ For it was not David who ascended into ^[p]heaven, but he himself says:

³⁶ Therefore let all the ^(V)house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both ^(W)Lord and ^[q]Christ—this Jesus ^(X)whom you crucified.”
