'Released' in the Bible

You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked to have a murderer released to you,

After they were released, Peter and John went to their fellow believers and told them everything the high priests and the elders had said.

The next day, since the tribune wanted to find out exactly what Paul was being accused of by the Jews, he released him and ordered the high priests and the entire Council to meet. Then he brought Paul down and had him stand before them.
