In this brief video Bible commentary, Jerry Robinson re-examines the powerful story of Barabbas, as recorded in the four gospel accounts of the New Testament. Learn more online: On the day Christ was condemned to death, the Jews were presented with the choice of two different men. One would receive clemency and be set free. The other would die a gruesome death. One was a silent lamb that was led to the slaughter. The other was a violent rebellious zealot who was actively using the sword to “take Israel back for God“ from the defiling hands of the pagan Roman infidels. The Pharisees, who sat in Moses’ seat, were supposed to herald the coming of Messiah. Instead, they traded one Jesus for another when given the opportunity. The story of a little known man named “Jesus Barabbas“ is remarkable as it emerges from the Biblical texts. The story of Barabbas appears in all four gospels.
