This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
14. τὸν ἅγιον. Whom even the demoniac (Mar 1:24) had confessed to be ‘the Holy One of God.’

φονέα, i.e. Barabbas, who had committed murder (Mar 15:7; Luk 23:19). Ἄνδρα seems here joined with φονέα, as ἄνθρωπος so often is with nouns that signify some occupation which is discreditable (γόης, συκοφάντης), to increase the odiousness of the term. So we have ἀνὴρ γεωργός for a tributary servant, LXX. Gen 49:15, a sort of adscriptus glebæ.
