23:18 But they all shouted out together, 1 “Take this man 2 away! Release Barabbas for us!”
1 tn Grk “together, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant and has not been translated here.
2 tn Grk “this one.” The reference to Jesus as “this man” is pejorative in this context.
3 sn The account pictures a battle of wills – the people versus Pilate. Pilate is consistently portrayed in Luke’s account as wanting to release Jesus because he believed him to be innocent.
