"It was a custom at the Feast to release a prisoner, anyone the people asked for. There was one prisoner called Barabbas, locked up with the insurrectionists who had committed murder during the uprising against Rome. Pilate gave the crowd what it wanted, set Barabbas free and turned Jesus over for whipping and crucifixion."
The Message - Gospel of Mark
I am Barabbas. I am the criminal worthy of death - whose deserved punishment was instead taken on by an innocent man - the Son of God.
