what is barabbas first name?
Some thought He was the âSon of God,â the true Son of the true Father, and the long-awaited Messiah. Yet, for all the good Jesus was known for, the mob wanted Him to die. This great, good man would die in the place of a common criminal. Some unreliable, written sources even claim that Barabbasâ first name was Jesus. As God ordered it, the only Son of the heavenly Father, the promised Messiah, would die in the place of another âson of fatherâ, Barabbas. Jesus would die so the sinful son could go free. What Barabbas had heard was true.
