stitutes πρὸς ἀλλήλους for πρὸς ἑαυτούς). ---ὄντες after προῦπῆρχον might have been omitted, as in Acts viii. 9, but it serves to convey the idea of continued bad relations.
Vv. 13-16. Pilate proposes to release Fesus.—Ver. 14. ἀποστρέφοντα, turn- ing away (the people from their allegiance). In Acts iii. 26, of turnin men from their iniquities—évémiov v ἀνακρίνας, having made an inquiry in your presence. In John, Pilate’s inquiry is private. ‘* He says this,” remarks Pricaeus, ‘lest they should think he was setting Jesus free by favour or in- trigue”’ (gratid aut ambitu). ἀνακρίνας is used absolutely here as in Acts xxiv. 8. —Ver. 15. αὐτῷ: some have taken this as referring: to. Herod = Herod did nothing in the case, implying that it was of a serious, capital nature. Most take it as referring to Jesus = behold, the result of sending to Herod is that in his judgment nothing has been done deserving death by the accused.—air@ instead of ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ; vide on this con- struction Winer, § xxxi., 10.—Ver, 16, παιδεύσας: doubtless used here in the Hellenistic sense of chastise, scourge— a mild name for an ugly thing. The policy of the proposal Euthy. thus ex- plains: ‘‘ a moderate flagellation (µετρίαν µαστίγωσιν) to mitigate their wrath, that thinking they had gained their point they might cease from further
madness ’’. A weak, futile policy. “« Hic coepit nimium concedere’’ (Bengel). Fanaticism grows by concession (Schanz).
Vv. 17-25. Pilate finally succumbs (Mt. xxvii. 15-26, Mk. xv. 6-τς).---Ψετ. 17, which states that Pilate was under a necessity (why, not explained) to release one (prisoner) at feast time, is almost certainly imported from the parallels by a later hand, though it fills up an ob- vious hiatus in Lk.’s meagre narrative. — Ver. 18. παμπληθεί: adverb, from wap- πληθής (here only in N.T.) =in the whole- mob style, giving a vivid idea of the overpowering shout raised.—aipe τοῦτον, take away this one, 1.6., to the cross.— ἀπόλυσον, release; if ye willrelease some one (ver. 16, ἀπολύσω) let it be Barabbas. Lk. makes this demand the voluntary act of the people. In the parallels (vide there) it is suggested to them by Pilate (Mt.), and urged on them by the priests. In Lk. s narrative the behaviour of the people is set in a dark light, while both Pilate and the priests are treated with comparative mildness. In view of Israel’s awful doom, Lk. says in effect: the people have suffered for: theiy own sin.—Ver. 19. ὅστις seems to be = Gs here, following the growing usage of later Greek (Schanz, vide Buttmann, Gram., p. 115).--διὰ στάσιν . . . καὶ Φφόνον = διὰ Φφόνον ἐν στάσει πεποι-
