Luke 23:17

William Tyndale New Testament

For of necessity, he must have let one loose unto them at that feast.

See the chapter Copy

¶ At that feast, the deputy was wont to deliver unto the people a prisoner whom they would choose.

¶ At the feast Pilate was wont to deliver at their pleasure a prisoner: whomsoever they would desire.

I will therefore chasten him and let him loose.

¶ And all the people cried at once, saying: away with him, and deliver to us Barabbas.

Ye have a custom among you, that I should deliver you one loose at ester. Will ye that I loose unto you the king of the jewes.
