Mark 15:8

And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.

And the multitude went up and began to ask him `to do' as he was wont to do unto them.

And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,

So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.
