'Release' in the Bible

"The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because of which he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to send out in freedom those who are oppressed,

Therefore I will punish him [and] release [him]."

But they all cried out in unison, saying, "Take this man away, and release for us Barabbas!"

And Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed [them] again,

So he said to them a third [time], "Why? What wrong has this man done? I found no basis for an accusation {deserving death} in him. Therefore I will punish him [and] release [him]."
