“Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.”
Matthew 27:15 (BSB)
Context Reading
13Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?” 14But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement. 15Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing. 16At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas. 17So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
