And desired a murderer; to wit, Barabbas, crying out, Not this man, but Barabbas, 1 Thessalonians 18:40; which much aggravated their impiety; when the choice was given unto them of two, so vastly different, the just Jesus, and the murderous Barabbas, they chose the latter, to their destruction and confusion unto this present day. Where will blindness of mind and hardness of heart end!
