  • Yakan: “When the leaders of the priests and the guards of the temple saw Isa, they shouted, they said, ‘Kill him. Nail him on the post.’ Pilatus said to the people, ‘It is your wish already.

  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And the chief priests and the police when they saw Jesus, they shouted out, ‘Kill him!
