∙ 8y agoIn the gospels, Pilate offered to release Jesus in fulfilment of an alleged tradition that one prisoner be released on the Passover, but the crowd chose Barabbas, who was apparently also being tried by Pilate.
Some scholars suggest that this was a play on words, and that there was no Barabbas. They say that Abbas means 'Father' in Aramaic and therefore Barabbas means 'Son of the Father'. Jesus is known as the Son of the Father, so the allusion is that the Jews set the wrong Son of the Father free.
