Luke 23:18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas: Albert, Bishop of Mayence, had a physician attached to his person, who, being a Protestant, did not enjoy the prelate's favour. The man seeing this, and being an avaricious, ambitious world.seeker, denied his God, and turned back to Popery, saying to his associates, "I'll put Jesus Christ by for a while till I've made my fortune, and then bring Him out again." This horrible blasphemy met with its just reward; for next day the miserable hypocrite was found dead in his bed, his tongue hanging from his mouth, his face as black as a coal, and his neck twisted half round. I was myself an ocular witness of this merited chastisement of impiety. (M. Luther.) Parallel Verses KJV: And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:WEB: But they all cried out together, saying, "Away with this man!
