Mateus 27:21 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 27:21

The governor answered and said unto them
A second time, after some time had been allowed and taken up to consider of the matter, and which the chief priests and elders improved among the people against Jesus.

Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you?
for as these two were proposed, one of them must be released; and it lay in the breast of the people to choose which they would:

they said, Barabbas;
so that Christ was not only numbered among, and reckoned with transgressors, but he was accounted worse than the worst of them; a seditious person, a robber, and a murderer was preferred before him: see ( Acts 3:14 ) .

20 Mas os chefes dos sacerdotes e os líderes religiosos convenceram a multidão a que pedisse Barrabás e mandasse executar Jesus.

21 Então perguntou o governador: “Qual dos dois vocês querem que eu solte?”Responderam eles: “Barrabás!”

22 Perguntou Pilatos: “Que farei então com Jesus, chamado Cristo?”Todos responderam: “Crucifica-o!”

23 “Por quê? Que crime ele cometeu?”, perguntou Pilatos.Mas eles gritavam ainda mais: “Crucifica-o!”
