He tells them to avoid any brother or sister in Jesus who doesn’t live according to his rules and the example that he set before them. What rules? What example did he set? He tells them he could have eaten their food for free but they all worked hard day and night and paid for everything they received.

Jesus Barabbas' name means "Son of the Father" which is ironic when Jesus the Messiah is THE Son of the Father! Jesus Barrabas was a murderer for he had risen up against the Roman government to over throw it but was unsuccessful in his attempt; captured and jailed for killing. Jesus the Messiah was 100% innocent, he has done nothing wrong, and the religious leaders has been hurling accusations at him while Jesus stood before Pilate in silence. There was a custom in that day to release a prisoner so Pilate asked the crowd, "Who should I release?" The crowd yelled, "Release Jesus Barabbas and crucify Jesus the Messiah!" Pilate was shook and taken back; he tried to get out of it but couldn't because the crowd was getting restless, for they had been persuaded by the religious leaders to choose Jesus the Messiah. Because he feared the crowd and wanted to plead them, Pilate released Jesus Barabbas and crucified an innocent man, Jesus the Messiah.

The hatred for the very Messiah they were looking for is simply atrocious! They come up with several lies and present them as truth which is what the enemy does. After Pilate realized Jesus was a Galilean, he has him sent to Herod. Even there, the religious leaders make their false accusations hoping Herod would have him crucified but he is more interested in seeing a miracle and making a mockery of Jesus. He is sent back to Pilate and Pilate was going to flog him, then release him but the crowd got involved and started shouting they wanted Jesus killed! Pilate, as a true politician, gives the crowd their way and hands Jesus over to the religious leaders to be crucified.

What is sad is that the people who came to arrest him were made up of religious leaders and priests, which are the very same people who are having this pathetic trial. They think they are in control because they have accomplished something they have been trying for three years—they have arrested Jesus and is about to condemn him to death. What they don’t understand is, they don’t have any power and they are actually doing the will of God! This was God’s plan the whole time so Jesus could be the Passover Lamb and die for our sins!
