Pontius Pilate hits on a brilliant idea which he though would get him out of this no win situation. He knew that Jesus was innocent, but he was on the hot seat between the Jewish leaders and what he knew to be the prisoners innocence. Every year it was customary for him to release a prisoner during the Passover Feast. He makes a suggestion that the favored person this year should be Jesus. (vv. 6-10). It happens that there is a prisoner named Barabbas who had tried to over-throw Rome in a revolt and in the process had killed a man. Fearful that Jesus might be released the chief priests stirred up the people to ask for Barabbas to be released instead of Christ (v. 11). Barabbas was an insurrectionist and a murder, but also he was sort of a hero with the people. Evidently he was a revolutionary leader in Israel at that time, hoping to overthrow the Roman power.
