Barabbas @ i.e., son of Abba or of a father, a notorious robber whom Pilate proposed to condemn to death instead of Jesus, whom he wished to release, in accordance with the Roman custom John:18:40; Mark:15:7; Luke:23:19). But the Jews were so bent on the death of Jesus that they demanded that Barabbas should be pardoned Matthew:27:16-26; Acts:3:14). This Pilate did.
