Luca 23:18 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:18

And they cried out all at once
The chief priests, rulers, and people, not bearing to hear of a release of him, now they had got him in their hands; and enraged at the proposal, in a most clamorous way, cried out, as one man, immediately:

Saying, away with this man;
to the cross; to Calvary, the place of execution; away with him out of the world; he is not fit to live:

and release unto us Barabbas;
whose character is given in the next verse; (See Gill on Matthew 27:16).

Luca 23:18 In-Context

16 Io adunque lo castigherò, e poi lo libererò.

17 Or gli conveniva di necessità liberar loro uno, ogni dì di festa.

18 E tutta la moltitudine gridò, dicendo: Togli costui, e liberaci Barabba.

19 Costui era stato incarcerato per una sedizione, fatta nella città, con omicidio

20 Perciò Pilato da capo parlò loro, desiderando liberar Gesù.
