Barabbas was sitting on death row and outside the very cell he was in, he could hear the cries of ''Crucify Him, Let him be crucified'' and he knew that his moment of death was swiftly approaching, but wait what did he hear?
Mat 27:21 KJV - The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
Mat 27:22 KJV - Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? [They] all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
Mat 27:23 KJV - And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
The angry mob outside was clearly yelling out his name, but they were asking King Herod to release him, they were crying out ''Release Barabbas.'' How in the world could these people be asking for him to be set free?
The crimes of Barabbas were well known among the Jews, he had played a major part in leading an insurrection against the government and he was a known felon, because he was a murderer.
What Is a Felon?
In the United States, where the felony/misdemeanor distinction is still widely applied, the federal government defines a felony as a crime punishable by death or imprisonment in excess of one year. If punishable by exactly one year or less, it is classified as a misdemeanor.
What is a Felony?
While some crimes may be either misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the exact circumstances, others result in felony charges regardless. Here are some felony examples:
Murder
Manslaughter
Aggravated assault
Felony Assault ...
