Pilate, the Roman Governor, had a poor reputation among the people in Israel. His violence against the people was savage and unpredictable: they did not trust him. So, more in the interests of politics than justice, Pilate offered a 'prisoner swap' once a year to appease the people, if they thought someone was being treated unfairly. It was a way for Pilate to win popularity.

The Bible explained and applied.
“There has been days over the last two years that I have found it very difficult to go into work because I was being bullied by another member of staff but I did not want to tell anyone, so I would sit in my car, in the staff car park and read word @ work , Gods word and the explanation gave me the strength to continue going into work, things have now turned round in a way one could not expect or believe, this is gods power which if I had not had Gods word to read I am sure things would have turn out a lot different - I truly give thanks to all those that sacrifice their time so word @ work is and pray that it continues because the impact that it has is awesome.”
