Assume that some one, or some few, in the mob, said that verbatim in Aramaic (language of the common people in Jerusalem) in response to Pilate’s Query (Pilate spoke Latin) and the Greek scribe nailed it exactly, in Koine Greek.
There is more, to the mob responding to Pilate’s Query
But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend. Whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.”

Today it might be recorded
Crucify this son of a bitch, or we’ll have your **** job!
It’s difficult to imagine the mob actually cared about Caesar.
