∙ 12y agoI have heard that Barabbas means "son of fathers"- apparently it's what the temple prostitutes named their illegitimate sons. Most interesting is that Jesus was substituted for Barabbas - the Son of God took the place of the "son of fathers" - exactly what Jesus did for us all!

Name of prisoner the crowd asked to be released during Jesus' trial?
Barabbas His 'name' was actually Jesus, He was called Barabbas. His name [Jesus] was written in the original Greek Gospel according to Matthew (27:17) but that it was removed or omitted from the Latin 'translation' (around 384 c. e.) and most of the subsequent 'translations' thereafter. "Barabbas" is not a proper name or surname per se' (any more so than is "Christ"), -it is an Aramaic appellation, -the meaning of which is: Bar = Son + Abba = Father (as in 'the Father of us all' or, 'God' if you will).
What was Barabbas name?
Barabbas was the criminal who was released instead of Jesus, at the trial in front of Pontius Pilate. The gospels do not say where he was born, but Jerusalem seems likely. Another possibility is that Barabbas was not a real person. It was the practice of the Jews at the time of Yom Kippur to release one sheep which symbolically carried all the sins of the world and to sacrifice another. It has been pointed out that, in Hebrew, Barabbas means "Son of the Father" and that Jesus claimed to be the Son of the Father and that it was he who carried all the sins of the world. Some scholars suggest that this was an allegory to show 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.
Did barABBAS repent?
Apparently, he did. In his final moments of life, while suspended on the cross next to Jesus, he is reported to have said 'Truly you are the Son of God' - to which Jesus is said to have replied 'You shall be with me this day in heaven'. This was taken to mean Barabbas repented his sins.
