description: We know precious little of the man called Barabbas a contemporary of Jesus of Nazareth. He is variously described in the historical record as thief murderer rebel and notable Roman prisoner. His release by the Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate was part of the supernal plan for the Christ to offer himself as the ultimate blood sacrifice but its doubtful Barabbas understood any of that at the time. Many have wondered what became of him or rather who he became after that fateful day. Someday we will know the answer but in the meantime we can imagine that like all of us he too sought a path of personal redemption imperfectly.
