Exegesis
The finite verb aneseisan {ἀνέσεισαν | anéseisan} follows, creating a straightforward subject–verb–object structure, with ton ochlon {τὸν ὄχλον | tón óchlon} as the accusative object. This main clause describes a completed, deliberate act of agitation by the priestly authorities.
Within this clause, the comparative adverb mallon {μᾶλλον | mâllon} precedes ton Barabban {τὸν Βαραββᾶν | tón Barabbân}, highlighting preference for Barabbas in contrast to Jesus, who is understood from the wider context.
