Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of Aramaic origin, from "bar" (son) and "abba" (father), meaning "son of the father."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the name Barabbas, as it is of Aramaic origin. However, the components of the name can be linked to Hebrew words: "bar" (H1247) meaning "son" and "abba" (H1) meaning "father." Usage: The name Barabbas appears in the context of the trial of Jesus Christ, where he is described as a notorious prisoner. The people chose to release Barabbas over Jesus, as was the custom to release a prisoner during the Passover feast. Context: Barabbas is a significant figure in the Passion narratives of the Gospels. He is introduced as a prisoner held by the Roman authorities during the time of Jesus' trial. The Gospels describe him as a "notorious prisoner" (Matthew 27:16) and a participant in an insurrection, who had committed murder (Mark 15:7, Luke 23:19, John 18:40). During the Passover feast, it was customary for the Roman governor to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, offered the crowd a choice between Jesus and Barabbas. Influenced by the chief priests and elders, the crowd chose Barabbas to be released (Matthew 27:20-21). This event is pivotal in the Passion narrative, highlighting the rejection of Jesus by the people and the fulfillment of His role as the suffering Messiah. The choice of Barabbas over Jesus serves as a profound illustration of the substitutionary atonement, where the innocent Jesus is condemned, and the guilty Barabbas is set free.
