MATTHEW 27:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.”
The governor again said to them: which of the two do you want me to release for you? And they said: Barabbas. The crowd's choice: Barabbas. The crowd who sang Hosanna to the Son of David at the triumphal entry now chooses the notorious prisoner over the one they acclaimed. The crowd's reversal is the political fickle-ness that Jesus' caution about crowd enthusiasm throughout the Gospel anticipated.
