'Appealed' in the Bible

Just then a man in the crowd appealed to Him. "Rabbi," he said, "tell my brother to give me a share of the inheritance."

But the older son became angry and refused to go in. His father came out and appealed to him,

Thereupon some of the Pharisees in the crowd appealed to Him, saying, "Rabbi, reprove your disciples."

But Pilate wanted to let Jesus go, so he appealed to them again,

A third time he appealed to them: "Why, what crime has the man committed? I have discovered in him nothing that deserves death. I will therefore give him a light punishment and release him."
