This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 27:22. Τί οὖν ποιήσω, κ.τ.λ., what shall I do then? etc.) Pilate did not suppose that the Jews would demand any very severe punishment to be inflicted. He ought not to have asked. It would have been safer to have simply dismissed the prisoner; cf. Act 18:14-16.-σταυρωθήτω, let Him be crucified) Barabbas had deserved the cross: hence they demand that Jesus should be crucified.
