It has been pointed out that, while the gospels taught that Jesus was the Son of the Father, the name Barabbas also meant "Son of the father". This was at the time of the Jewish Pasasover, when the Jews traditionally freed one lamb to take away the sins of the people, and sacrificed another lamb for the Passover feast. One suggestion is that the story of Herod and Barabbas was a play on words, and that the Jews released the wrong "Son of the father".

Was Barabbas crucified with Jesus?

In the gospels, Pontius Pilate said that it was the practice of Roman governors in Judea to free one prisoner on the Passover. He suggested that he free Jesus, but the crowd demanded that he free Barabbas instead - so Barabbas escaped crucifixion. This practice is entirely unknown outside the gospels themselves, although it certainly was the Jewish practice to free one sheep to take away the sins of the world, and to sacrifice another. It has been pointed out that, while the gospels taught that Jesus was the Son of the Father, the name Barabbas also meant "Son of the father". One suggestion is that the story of Herod and Barabbas was a play on words, and that the Jews released the wrong "Son of the father". Barabbas was not crucified.
