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 (Jhn 18:40; Mar 15:7; Luk 23:19). But the Jews were so bent on the death of Jesus that they demanded that Barabbas should be pardoned (Mat 27:16-26; Act 3:14). This Pilate did.
