And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Crucify him.

And Pilate said to them, What evil then has he done? But they cried out the more urgently, Crucify him.

And Pilate said to them, 'Why, what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, 'Crucify him;'

"Why, what crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they vehemently shouted, "Crucify Him!"

And Pilate said to them, Why, what evil has he done? But their cry was the louder, To the cross!

Pilate said to them, 'Why, what evil has he done?' But they shouted all the louder, 'Crucify him.'

"Why, what harm has he done?" Pilate kept saying to them. But they shouted furiously, "Crucify him!"

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; See Gill on Matthew 27:22, Matthew 27:23.
