But Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

He released the man they asked for, who had been thrown in prison for insurrection and murder. But he handed Jesus over to their will.

As you are going with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, so that he will not drag you before the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
