Question 1 Report

During the trial of Jesus, the Jews preferred that Pilate should release
Answer Details
During the trial of Jesus, the Jews preferred that Pilate should release Barabbas. Barabbas was a notorious criminal and a revolutionary who had been imprisoned for his role in a rebellion against Roman rule. When Pilate offered to release either Jesus or Barabbas as a gesture of goodwill towards the Jews during the Passover festival, the Jewish leaders incited the crowd to demand the release of Barabbas instead of Jesus. Pilate eventually gave in to their demands and released Barabbas while condemning Jesus to be crucified.
