Matthew 27:15-18 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          15Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.
          16At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.
          17So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
          18For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.
