LUKE 23:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.”
He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will — released the insurrectionist-murderer and surrendered Jesus: the final exchange. Surrendered Jesus to their will (tō thelēmati autōn, to their desire): Pilate abandons his own will (to release) to their will (to crucify). The justice system's surrender to mob will.
