RBT Translation:

πείθω - Peitho - Goddess of Persuasion

And the High Priests and the Elders persuaded the Multitude so that they should ask for the Son of Abba ("Barabbas"), and the Salvation they might destroy away.

πείθω Peitho Goddess of Persuasion.

Persuasion, beauty, charm, and seduction.
Rhetoric and the power of of words.

"'I have waved to and fro the bed of myself, with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon bark. Walk, we will be soaked, beloved ones, until the Dawn, we will leap for joy within loves! For there is not a Man within the house of himself, he has walked within a road from a remote place. He has taken a bag of the Silver within a hand of himself, for on the Day of the throne he is coming to the house of himself!'
She stretched him out in the abundance of her persuasion, within the portion of the lips of herself, she is driving him out."

(Proverbs 7:17-21 RBT)

LITV Translation:
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds, that they should ask for Barabbas, and to destroy Jesus.

ESV Translation:
Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
