Pontius Pilate set Barabbas free as part of a Passover tradition where the Roman governor would release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. Faced with pressure from the local leaders and the crowd's demand for Barabbas instead of Jesus, Pilate ultimately yielded to their wishes. Additionally, he sought to avoid further unrest and potential backlash from the Jewish population. This decision was influenced by the political climate and the desire to maintain order during the festival.

Whom did the people choose to set free in Jerusalem?

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.
