Acts 3:14

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

And there was one named Barabbas, in prison with those who had gone against the government and in the fight had taken life.

Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life

This was the Lord's doing, and it is a wonder in our eyes?

But the people were moved by the chief priests to make him let Barabbas go free.

But his people had no love for him, and sent representatives after him, saying, We will not have this man for our ruler.

Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life

And how the chief priests and our rulers gave him up to be put to death on the cross.

Of sin, because they have not faith in me;

Then again they gave a loud cry, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was an outlaw.

And though no cause of death was seen in him, they made a request to Pilate that he might be put to death.
