'Prisoner' in the Bible

Now at each feast, the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd--the one whom they wanted.

And at that time they had a notorious prisoner named Jesus Barabbas.

Now at each feast he customarily released for them one prisoner whom they requested.

Therefore, do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor me his prisoner, but suffer along with [me] for the gospel, according to the power of God,

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear friend and fellow worker,

instead I appeal to [you] because of love, [since I] am such a one as Paul, now an old man and also a prisoner of Christ Jesus.
