Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 23:25

"And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will." — Luke 23:25 (ASV)

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.

Sad scene. May our hearts be broken, and made tender, and sanctified by meditation upon it.

Let us turn now to the later events.
