After being freed instead of Jesus, Barabbas's fate is not recorded in The Bible. It is not known for certain what happened to him after his release.
A person who has been freed from slavery is typically referred to as a freed or emancipated individual.
After General Sherman issued Special Field Order No. 15, which promised land to freed slaves, around 40,000 acres of land in Georgia and South Carolina were set aside for this purpose. This initiative provided some freed slaves with a measure of economic independence, but the policy was later overturned by President Andrew Johnson.
Yes, "freed" is a word. It is the past tense and past participle of the verb "free," which means to release from captivity or confinement.
There are no freed slaves remaining on the farm where they had worked as slaves. After emancipation, freed slaves were free to leave the farms where they were enslaved.
Liberia was settled by freed American slaves in the early 19th century. It was founded as a colony by the American Colonization Society as a place for freed African-Americans to return to Africa.
The New Testament does not specifically list who Barabbas killed. It is only mentioned that he was a criminal and murderer freed in exchange for Jesus's arrest.

Barabbas was the unwitting beneficiary of a failed attempt by Pontius Pilate to negotiate the release of Jesus of Nazareth with the angry crowd in his judgment hall. If Pilate's gambit had worked, Barabbas would have been hanged on the cross instead of Jesus. But, given a choice between executing the insurrectionist and murderer Barabbas, or the law abiding miracle worker Jesus, the crowd chose the miracle worker, and Pilate was forced to reluctantly comply. Barabbas was freed.
Barabbas was released, but the Bible does not say what happened to him subsequently.
The Jews asked for Barabbas to be released. Luke 23:18-19 tells us that, "The whole crowd shouted, "Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!" (Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)" (NIV)
That is not known one way or another. The fate of Barabbas is not written in the Holy Bible so it would only be conjecture as to what happened to him.
He died in the end after washing his hands of Jesus and Barabbas
Matthew 27:26 said "they asked for Barabbas to be released". In John 18:40 we learn that "Barabbas had taken part in a rebellion". In other words, the crowd called out for the release of Barabbas, a thug, but this is believed to be because of a paid "claque" salted into the crowd by the High Priest, which skillfully brought the crowd to a frenzy for the release of Barabbas.
Pilate asked the crowd whether Jesus or Barabbas should be freed as it was customary for the governor to free one prisoner who the people would choose. Barabbas was a rebel and had murdered in the past. Read Mark 15 for more
Now Barabbas was created in 1949.
Barabbas - novel - was created in 1950.
AnswerIt 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".
