A Unified, Furious Cry
Commentators note the striking unity and intensity of the crowd's demand. The Greek term for "all together" (panplethei) is rare, emphasizing a unanimous roar. Their cry, "Away with this man," was an urgent demand for execution, while the call to "release" Barabbas was a command for immediate action. This highlights the mob's complete and furious rejection of Jesus.
