Matt 27:15 · Douay-Rheims
“Now upon the solemn day the governor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whom they would.”
On this verse:
“It is to be noted, that the bench (tribunal) is the seat of the judge, the throne (solium) of the king, the chair (cathedra) of the master. In visions and dreams the wife of a Gentile understood what the Jews when awake would neither believe nor understand.”
