Word Origin: Of Aramaic origin, from "bar" (son) and "abba" (father), meaning "son of the father." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Barabbas, the components of his name can be linked to: - H1247 (בַּר, bar): Son - H1 (אָב, ab): Father Usage: Barabbas is a proper noun used in the New Testament to refer to a prisoner who was released instead of Jesus Christ. His name means "son of the father," which is ironic given the context of his release in place of Jesus, the true Son of the Father. Cultural and Historical Background: Barabbas was a notable prisoner during the time of Jesus' trial. According to the Gospels, he was involved in an insurrection and had committed murder (Mark 15:7). The custom at the time of the Passover feast allowed for the release of one prisoner chosen by the crowd. The choice between Barabbas and Jesus highlights the rejection of Jesus by the people, as they chose a known criminal over the Messiah.
