Today's reading comes from the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 23, verses 20-23:
Again Pilate addressed them, still wishing to release Jesus, but they continued their shouting. "Crucify him! Crucify him!" Pilate addressed them a third time, "What evil has this man done? I found him guilty of no capital crime. Therefore I shall have him flagged and then release him." With loud shouts, however, they persisted in calling for his crucifixion, and their voices prevailed.
