EasyEnglish Bible

²¹ Pilate asked the people again, ‘Which of these two men should go free?’ The people answered, ‘Barabbas.’

²² Then Pilate asked the people, ‘So what should I do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah?’ The people all shouted, ‘Take him and kill him on a cross!’

²³ So Pilate said, ‘Why should I kill him? What bad things has he done?’

But the people shouted even louder, ‘Kill him on a cross!’
