Clarke's Commentary on the BibleThe governor was wont to release - Whence this custom originated among the Jews is not known, - probably it was introduced by the Romans themselves, or by Pilate, merely to oblige the Jews, by showing them this public token of respect; but if it originated with him, he must have had the authority of Augustus; for the Roman laws never gave such discretionary power to any governor. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge Matthew 26:5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people. Mark 15:6,8 Now at that feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired... Luke 23:16,17 I will therefore chastise him, and release him... John 18:38,39 Pilate said to him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them... Acts 24:27 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound. Acts 25:9 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Will you go up to Jerusalem... Matthew 27:15 Parallel Commentaries
