... Pilate even went so far as to make use of a special appeasement to the people, as it was the time of the feast of Passover, and offered the people their choice between a convicted zealot insurrectionist, Barabbas, or Jesus, to be set free.
The crowd,cried out for the crucifixion of Jesus, and the release of Barabbas.
(Oddly enough, the name Barabbas means "son of the father" in Hebrew, and many have speculated that the Romans did not comprehend that the people were actually calling for Jesus, who called himself the 'Son of the Father' in his ministry).
Nonetheless, it was Jesus who was sentenced to the cross and Barabbas freed.
Does this mean that in fact the crowd was shouting for Jesus to be freed rather than Barabbas but due to the mixup explained above Jesus was selected for Crucifixion ?
Was this the reason for Christ plea on the cross , My Father why have you forsaken me ?
Did JC lose the plot ?
Must be a zillion bucks blockbuster novel somwhere in this story ...
