Barabbas was a prisoner held in Jerusalem during Jesus' trial, described as a murderer and insurrectionist. When Pontius Pilate offered the crowd a choice between releasing Barabbas or Jesus, they chose to free Barabbas. His release in place of Jesus stands as a stark image of grace and the power of the crucifixion.
