Now it was the governor’s custom
The practice of releasing a prisoner during a festival was a Roman custom, reflecting the Roman authority's attempt to maintain peace and goodwill among the subjugated populations. This custom is not documented outside the Gospels, but it aligns with Roman practices of clemency and public appeasement. The governor here refers to Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect of Judea, who held the power to grant such pardons.

at the feast
The feast mentioned is the Passover, a significant Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites' liberation from Egyptian slavery. This time of year drew large crowds to Jerusalem, increasing the potential for unrest, which Roman authorities were keen to manage. The Passover's themes of liberation and deliverance provide a poignant backdrop for the events of Jesus' trial and crucifixion.

to release to the crowd
The act of releasing a prisoner to the crowd underscores the political dynamics at play. Pilate's decision to involve the crowd in the choice of prisoner reflects his attempt to placate the Jewish populace and avoid inciting a riot. This interaction highlights the tension between Roman authority and Jewish expectations.

a prisoner of their choosing
The choice given to the crowd introduces the concept of substitution, a key theme in Christian theology. The crowd's choice between Jesus and Barabbas (a known insurrectionist) symbolizes the broader spiritual choice between sin and salvation. This moment foreshadows the substitutionary atonement of Christ, where Jesus takes the place of sinners. The decision also reflects the fickle nature of public opinion and the influence of religious leaders in swaying the crowd's choice.

Persons / Places / Events

Teaching Points
Understanding Custom and Tradition
The practice of releasing a prisoner during Passover reflects the intersection of Roman authority and Jewish tradition. It serves as a reminder of how cultural customs can influence significant events.

The Choice of the Crowd
The decision to release Barabbas over Jesus illustrates the fickle nature of public opinion and the danger of following the crowd without discernment.

The Rejection of Jesus
This event foreshadows the broader rejection of Jesus by His own people, fulfilling prophetic scriptures about the Messiah being despised and rejected.

God's Sovereignty in Human Decisions
Despite the crowd's choice, God's redemptive plan through Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection was not thwarted. This teaches us about God's sovereignty and purpose even in human decisions.

Personal Reflection on Choices
Believers are encouraged to reflect on their own choices and allegiances, ensuring they align with Christ rather than the prevailing opinions of the world.
Lists and Questions
Top 10 Lessons from Matthew 27

In Matthew 27:15–26, the tradition of releasing a prisoner at Passover is mentioned; where is the historical evidence for this practice?

Who was Barabbas in the Bible?

What events occurred on Day 6 of the journey?

Why do the Gospel accounts of Jesus' trial and crucifixion conflict with known Roman legal and execution procedures?(15)The governor was wont to release.--It is not known when the practice began, nor whether it was primarily a Jewish or a Roman one. The fact that the release of criminals was a common incident of a Latinlectisternium, or feast in honour of the gods, makes the latter the more probable. If introduced by Pilate (and this is the only recorded instance of the practice) it was, we may believe, a concession intended to conciliate those whom his previous severities had alienated. Before this stage of the proceedings we have to place (1) the second conference between Pilate and the priests after his dialogue with our Lord (Luke 23:4-5), and their definite charge of sedition, now urged for the first time; and (2) his attempt, catching at the word "Galilee" as the scene of our Lord's work, to transfer the responsibility of judging to Herod (Luke 23:6-12).

Verses 15-26. -Barabbas preferred to Jesus. (Mark 15:6-15;Luke 23:17-25;John 18:39, 40.)Verse 15. - Pilate now tries another expedient for delivering himself from the responsibility of condemning Jesus.At that feast (κατὰ ἑορτήν,at a feast, at feast time). Doubtless the Passover is meant, which wasthe feast especially of the Jews, and it is very improbable that the practice mentioned in the clause was allowed at any other of the feasts.The governor was wont to release unto the people (τῷ ὄχλῳ,the multitude), etc. St. Luke says, "Of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast." The custom is not elsewhere mentioned. It was, however, most probably an institution established of old time in memory of the Exodus (John 18:39), and continued by the Romans when they became masters of the country. A similar custom obtained at Rome and in Greece on certain great festivals.Whom they would. The governor usually left the priests and people unfettered in their choice; on the present occasion he desired Jesus to be selected.
