Matthew 27:16

and at this time there was a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

There was in prison a man called Barabbas, among some revolutionaries who in their outbreak had committed murder.

But they all shouted out, "Kill him, and release Barabbas for us!"

He released the man they asked for, who had been put in prison for riot and murder, and handed Jesus over to their will.

Then they shouted back, "No! Not him, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

But you disowned the Holy, Righteous One. You asked to have a murderer released for you,

They know God's decree that those who act in this way deserve to die, yet they not only do it, but applaud any who do.
