'Demand' in the Bible

But the high priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to demand that Jesus be put to death.

He sighed deeply in his spirit and remarked, "Why do those living today demand a sign? I tell all of you with certainty, no sign will be given to this generation."

Then Pilate pronounced his sentence that their demand should be carried out.

So he released the man who had been put in prison for revolt and murder the man whose release they continued to demand but he let them have their way with Jesus.
