Contextual Overview
1 Early in the morning the head religious leaders of the Jews and other leaders and the teachers of the Law and all the court gathered together to talk about Jesus. Then they tied up Jesus and led Him away. They handed Him over to Pilate. 2 Pilate asked Jesus, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He said to Pilate, "What you say is true." 3 The religious leaders spoke many things against Him. Jesus did not say a word. 4 Pilate asked Him again, "Have You nothing to say? Listen to the things they are saying against You!" 5 Jesus did not say a word. Pilate was much surprised and wondered about it. 6 Each year at the special supper Pilate would let one person who was in prison go free. It would be the one the people asked for. 7 The name of one of those in prison was Barabbas. He, together with others, had killed people while working against the leaders of the country. 8 All the people went to Pilate and asked him to do as he had done before. 9 Pilate said, "Do you want me to let the King of the Jews go free?" 10 He knew the religious leaders had handed Jesus over to him because they were jealous.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the chief priests moved the people,.... Greatly solicited and persuaded them, both in person, and by their officers they employed, and dispersed among them, to make use of arguments with them to prevail upon them:
that he should rather release Barabbas unto them; than Jesus of Nazareth; choosing rather to have a murderer granted unto them, than the holy and just one. The Persic version, as before, reads, "the chief of the priests"; but they were all concerned, and were the most active men in bringing about the death of Christ; though Caiaphas was behind none of them in envy, rage, and malice;
