Not Barabbas But Jesus
John 18:40
Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.


Tremellius was a Jew from whose heart the veil had been taken away, and who had been led by the Holy Spirit to acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah. The Jews who condemned Christ had said "Not this man," &c. Tremellius, when near his end, glorying in Christ alone and renouncing whatever came in competition with Him said, "Not Barabbas but Jesus."

(Whitecross.)
