'''Barabbas''' was the criminal who was freed in place of [[Jesus]] as recorded in all four [[Gospels]] ([[Gospel of Matthew|Matt]] 27:15-26), ([[Gospel of Mark|Mark]] 15:6-15), ([[Gospel of Luke|Luke]] 23:13–25), ([[Gospel of John|John]] 18:38-19:16). Slated to be [[crucifixion|crucified]], he was released as was part of the [[Passover]] custom when the crowd chose him to be freed over Jesus.

Barabbas was a member of the sect of [[Zeolot]]s, a resistance movement against Roman occupation branded as a terrorist group by the Romans. Barrabas was accused of murder, however it is unclear if the murder was committed against a Roman occupier or against a Jewish collaborator, such as a [[Publican]] - a Jew who collected taxes from other Jews to support the Roman occupation.
Though the name is simply stated in the Gospels, behind the Greek of the original Gospels stands the Aramaic of the day of Jesus. And there the irony can be seen. Barabbas means in Aramaic "Son of a (the) Father."
