Contextual Overview

¹³ Pilate called the people together with the leading priests and the rulers. ¹⁴ He said to them, "You brought this man to me, saying he makes trouble among the people. But I have questioned him before you all, and I have not found him guilty of what you say. ¹⁵ Also, Herod found nothing wrong with him; he sent him back to us. Look, he has done nothing for which he should die. ¹⁶ So, after I punish him, I will let him go free." ¹⁷ [Every year at the Passover Feast, Pilate had to release one prisoner to the people.] ¹⁸ But the people shouted together, "Take this man away! Let Barabbas go free!" ¹⁹ (Barabbas was a man who was in prison for his part in a riot in the city and for murder.) ²⁰ Pilate wanted to let Jesus go free and told this to the crowd. ²¹ But they shouted again, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" ²² A third time Pilate said to them, "Why? What wrong has he done? I can find no reason to kill him. So I will have him punished and set him free."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For of necessity he must release one,.... And therefore proposed to release Jesus

unto them at the feast; of passover, which now was; not that there was any law that obliged to it, but it having been customary with the Roman governor to do so, the people expected it; custom had made it necessary: and so the Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions render it, "it was a custom to release", &c. not at each feast, or every feast, as the last of these versions read, only at the passover, as is expressed, John 18:39.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 27:15.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 23:17. For of necessity he must release one — That is, he was under the necessity of releasing one at this feast. The custom, however it originated, had now been so completely established that Pilate was obliged to attend to it. Matthew 27:15; Matthew 27:15.
