Clarke's John 18:39 Bible Commentary
But ye have a custom - Nothing relative to the origin or reason of this custom is known. Commentators have swam in an ocean of conjecture on this point. They have lost their labor, and made nothing out: see the notes on Matthew 27:15; Luke 23:17.
Barnes's John 18:39 Bible Commentary
See the notes at Matthew 27:15-21.
