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:
“Or otherwise; The devil now at last understanding that he should lose his trophies through Christ, as he had at the first brought in death by a woman, so by a woman he would deliver Christ out of the hands of His enemies, lest through His death he should lose the sovereignty of death.”
