Best Answer

A:

The gospels say that at the time of the Passover, it was a Jewish tradition to set one man free, although scholars have found no evidence of such a custom. Pontius Pilate asked the crowd to set Jesus or the murderer Barabbas free, and they chose to set Barabbas free.

Some scholars suggest that this was a play on words, and that there was no Barabbas. They point out that Abbas means 'Father' in Aramaic and therefore Barabbas means 'Son of the Father'. Jesus is known as the Son of the Father, so the allusion is that the Jews set the wrong Son of the Father free.

Why did God give mankind freedom of choice to choose whom we serve?

That is the entire purpose of Creation. God has made this world (and the universe as its backdrop) as a stage upon which we are to choose whether or not to be religious, and whom we serve in that context. Without free will, we would be just another type of animal. Even angels do not have the free will that we do.
