When Pilate offered up Jesus or Barabbas for release, was this an offer of pardon? I have limited understanding of this was a tradition each year where Pilate would release a prisoner during the Jewish Passover but did this release mean a pardon?
Matthew 27:15
MODERNHEBREW - 15 ומנהג ההגמון היה לפטר לעם בכל חג אסיר אחד את אשר יחפצו׃
