‏ Acts 3:14

Verse 14. Ye denied the HOLY ONE] τοναγιον. A manifest reference to Ps 16:10: Thou wilt not suffer thy HOLY ONE to see corruption; where the original word Chasideyca, thy HOLY ONE, is translated by the Septuagint, τονοσιονσου, a word of the same import with that used by Peter.

And desired a murderer] Barabbas: the case must have been fresh in their own remembrance. Like cleaves to like, and begets its like: they were murderers themselves, and so Christ calls them, Mt 22:7, and they preferred a murderer to the holy and righteous ONE of God.
