"They asked Pilate that he should be put to death."

Acts 13:27-28 (New King James Version)

²⁷ - For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him. ²⁸ - And though they found no cause for death in him, they asked Pilate that he should be put to death.
