Contextual Overview
13 Pilate called all the people together with the leading priests and the Jewish leaders. 14 He said to them, "You brought this man to me. You said he was trying to change the people. But I judged him before you all and have not found him guilty of the things you say he has done. 15 Herod didn't find him guilty either. He sent him back to us. Look, he has done nothing bad enough for the death penalty. 16 So, after I punish him a little, I will let him go free." 17 18 But they all shouted, "Kill him! Let Barabbas go free!" 19 (Barabbas was a man who was in jail for starting a riot in the city and for murder.) 20 Pilate wanted to let Jesus go free. So again Pilate told them that he would let him go. 21 But they shouted again, "Kill him! Kill him on a cross!" 22 A third time Pilate said to the people, "Why? What wrong has he done? He is not guilty. I can find no reason to kill him. So I will let him go free after I punish him a little."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Who, for a certain sedition made in the city,.... Of Jerusalem: he had made an insurrection in it, in opposition to the government, in order to have thrown off the yoke, and to have asserted and maintained their liberties, as a free people; or rather to have seized and plundered the properties of other people, since he is represented elsewhere as a robber:
and for murder; which had either been committed by himself, or his accomplices, in the insurrection; and for these things, sedition, and murder, he
was cast into prison; where he lay till this feast, in order to be executed.
