Luke 23:16

16 Therefore I will punish him [and] release [him]."

Luke 23:16 In-Context

14 [and] said to them, "You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people, and behold, [when I] examined [him] before you, I found nothing in this man as basis for the accusation which {you are making} against him
15 But neither [did] Herod, because he sent him back to us. And behold, nothing deserving death {has been done} by him.
16 Therefore I will punish him [and] release [him]."
18 But they all cried out in unison, saying, "Take this man away, and release for us Barabbas!"

  • [a]. *Here "[and]" is supplied because the previous participle ("punish") has been translated as a finite verb
  • [b]. *Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation
  • [c]. Many of the most important Greek manuscripts lack v. 17, "Now he was obligated to release for them at the feast one person."
