Matthew 27:16

And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.

And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas.

But they all cried out together, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas"--

He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus over to their will.

They cried out again, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

Though they know God's decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
