Contextual Overview

1 AND immediately in the morning the high priests took counsel together with the elders and the scribes and with the whole council; and they bound Jesus and took him away, and delivered him to Pilate the governor. 2 And Pilate asked him, Are you the King of the Jews? He answered and said to him, You say that. 3 And the high priests accused him of many things. 4 Then Pilate asked again and said to him, Do you not answer? see, how many are testifying against you. 5 But Jesus gave no answer, so that Pilate marvelled. 6 Now it was the custom on every feast to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked for. 7 There was one called Bar-Abbas, who was bound with those who made insurrection, and who had committed murder during the insurrection. 8 And the people cried out, and began to ask, to do for them according to the custom. 9 Pilate answered and said, Are you willing that I release to you the King of the Jews? 10 For Pilate knew that the high priests had delivered him because of envy.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And there was one named Barabbas,.... A prisoner of that name at Jerusalem;

which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him: he had been at the head of a seditious mob, and he and his accomplices were taken and put in prison:

who had committed murder in the insurrection; which may be connected either with Barabbas, and read in the singular number, as it is in the Vulgate Latin version, "he had committed"; or with the seditious persons he lay bound with, and be read in the plural number, "they had committed murder", as it is in the Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions; and so in the ancient copies; and the Ethiopic renders it, "he was bound with seditious persons and murderers"; though, no doubt, he was guilty of murder as well as they; and so Peter calls him a murderer, Acts 3:14. About this time murders were very frequently committed: the Jews say r that

"from the time that murderers increased, the slaying of the red heifer ceased; (the reason the commentators s give, is, because they were known who were accustomed to commit murder;) and that was from the time that Eleazar ben Dinai came, and Techinah ben Perishah he was called; and they called him again the son of a murderer;''

Acts 3:14- :.
