One described as a 'robber' in John 18:40; 'a notable prisoner' in Matthew 27:16-26 : he had made an insurrection and had committed murder. Mark 15:7-15 .

Why they petitioned for this particularprisoner is not known; but it manifests in the most decided manner their ungodliness that they could choose such a notoriously wicked man in preference to the Lord of life and glory, their Messiah. Luke 23:18 . Peter did not fail to charge this home upon the Jews, "Ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you." Acts 3:14 .
