Matthew 27:16

16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

Matthew 27:16 In-Context

14 And he did not answer him even a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
15 Now at that feast the governor was accustomed to release unto the people a prisoner, whoever they desired.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom desire ye that I release unto you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
