MATTHEW 27:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.”
And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. Barabbas — the notorious prisoner whose notoriety made him the obvious contrast to Jesus — is the figure through whom the substitution of the Passover release will become the enacted parable of the atonement: the guilty one released in the place of the innocent one.
