'Released' in the Bible

and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged him -- that he might be crucified.

'And judge not, and ye may not be judged; condemn not, and ye may not be condemned; release, and ye shall be released.

for, as thou art going away with thy opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag thee unto the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and the officer may cast thee into prison;

and he released him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave up to their will.

and Agrippa said to Festus, 'This man might have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.'

Know ye that the brother Timotheus is released, with whom, if he may come more shortly, I will see you.
