Contextual Overview

13 And having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14 Pilate said to them, You brought this Man to me as perverting the people. And, behold, examining Him before you, I found nothing blameable in this Man regarding that which you charge against Him. 15 But neither did Herod, for I sent you up to him; and, behold, nothing worthy of death is done by Him. 16 Therefore chastising Him, I will release Him . 17 And he had to release to them one at the Feast. 18 And they all together shouted, saying, Take this one, and release Barabbas to us 19 (he who was thrown into prison due to some revolt and murder occurring in the city .) 20 Then Pilate again called out, desiring to release Jesus. 21 But they shouted, saying, Crucify! Crucify Him! 22 And a third time he said to them, For what evil did this One do? I found no cause of death in Him. Therefore, chastising Him, I will 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

See the notes at Matthew 27:26.
