Commentary on Matthew 27:21
Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas (Τὸν Βαραββᾶν)—The stark, unelaborated response shows mob mentality's power. No deliberation, no debate—just the demand for the rebel. The Greek article ton (the) emphasizes decisiveness: THE Barabbas, not the Christ.This choice epitomizes humanity's rebellion: choosing sin over salvation, death over life, the murderer over the Life-Giver (Acts 3:14-15). Every sinner who rejects Christ makes the same choice—preferring their own way over God's provision.
