Matthew 27:15-18 King James Version (KJV)
15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
Matthew 27:15-18 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
15 And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed,
16 and they had then a noted prisoner, called Barabbas,
17 they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, `Whom will ye I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?'
18 for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
15 This is the feast of Passover. This became tradition and may have even been under Roman law to make the Jews happy and peaceful during the feast where they all were in one city.
16 Barabbas most likely may have been chosen because he was the worse of all the prisoners they had. Barabbas represents us compared to Jesus we are a Barabbas because He took our place and we are free.
17 Pilate decides that he will let the people chose between a harden criminal or the man he found no fault in. Pilate did not want to condemn an innocent man that moved so many people and helped many people also.
18 Pilate knew they didn’t like Jesus but wanted to see how bad they hated Him. Pilate wanted to see if they would let Jesus go if they saw how He being condemned would affect them, Jesus being condemned allows us to be saved.
