Contextual Overview

13And Pilate summoned the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one who incites the people to rebellion, and behold, having examined Him before you, I have found in this man no guilt of what you are accusing Him. 15No, nor has Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing deserving death has been done by Him. 16Therefore I will punish Him and release Him." 17[Now he was obliged to release to them at the feast one prisoner.] 18But they cried out all together, saying, "Away with this man, and release for us Barabbas!" 19(He had been thrown into prison for an insurrection made in the city and for murder.) 20But again Pilate addressed them, wanting to release Jesus, 21but they kept on calling out, saying, "Crucify, crucify Him!" 22And he said to them a third time, "Why, what evil has this man done? I have found in Him no guilt worthy of death; therefore I will punish Him and release Him."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Pilate therefore willing to release Jesus,.... Being more and more convinced of his innocence; and still seeing more clearly into the wickedness, malice, and envy of his accusers; and having received a message from his wife:

spake again to them; putting it again to them, which he should release; asking them what he should do with Jesus; plainly signifying his mind, that he thought him innocent, and that it would be right to let him go. The Ethiopic version represents him, saying, "will ye that I save for you, or release to you the Lord Jesus?"
