'Requested' in the Bible

During the feast it was customary to release one prisoner to the people, whomever they requested.

So these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested, "Sir, we would like to see Jesus."

and requested letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, either men or women, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

They requested only that we remember the poor, the very thing I also was eager to do.
