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 (Matt. 27:16-26; Acts 3:14). This Pilate did.

17 so when all the people had gathered, Pilatos (Pilate) shouted down to them, “Who would you all like me to release: Bar-Aba or Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) who’s also being called the messiah?”
