But ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted unto you,
But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
But you denied and rejected and disowned the Pure and Holy, the Just and Blameless One, and demanded [the pardon of] a murderer to be granted to you.
You rejected the holy and righteous one, and asked that a murderer be released to you instead.
Then you denied the Holy and Just One, and petitioned for a murderous man to be given to you.
