Matthew27:16
Verse 16. A notable prisoner, called Barabbas] That is, by interpretation his fathers sonne, his white son, his darling, his tidling, whom he had cockered and not crossed from his youth. Such children are oft undone, as Absolom, Amnon and Adoniah were by their parents indlgence. How many a Barabbas, brought to the gallows, blameth his fond father, and haply curseth him in hell?
