Contextual Overview
13Pilate summoned the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14and said to them, "You brought this man before me as one who corrupts and incites the people to rebellion. After examining Him before you, I have found no guilt in this Man regarding the charges which you make against Him. 15"No, nor has Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and indeed, He has done nothing to deserve death. 16"Therefore I will punish Him [to teach Him a lesson] and release Him." 17Now he was obligated to release to them one prisoner at the Feast. 18But they [loudly] shouted out all together, saying, "Away with this Man, and release Barabbas to us!" 19(He was one who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection that happened in the city, and for murder.) 20Pilate addressed them again, wanting to release Jesus, 21but they kept shouting out, "Crucify, crucify Him!" 22A third time he said to them, "Why, what wrong has He done? I have found no guilt [no crime, no offense] in Him demanding death; therefore I will punish Him [to teach Him a lesson] and release Him."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he released unto them, him,.... Barabbas, who is not named, as being a detestable person, and unworthy to be named; and is therefore described by the infamous, though just character of him, as follows:
that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, as in Luke 23:19
whom they had desired; to be granted to them, and released; see Acts 3:14
but he delivered Jesus to their will; to do as they would with him, to mock, and scourge, and crucify him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
