17(Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.) 18But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this [man] and release Barabbas to us; who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and [for] murder, had been cast into prison. 20Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed [them]. 21But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.

Pilate declares Jesus innocent, and has a mind to release him; yet, to please the people, he would punish him as an evil-doer. If no fault be found in him, why chastise him? Pilate yielded at length; he had not courage to go against so strong a stream. He delivered Jesus to their will, to be crucified.Read the comment
