Barabbas, Bar Abbas, Son of the Father,
At great cost I received that name.
Out of the pit and into the light
Rightfully charged, yet stayed from blame.
That rebel, that convict: Barabbas;
That one, I am he.
I am the convict,
The one exchanged,
For Christ who died for me.
John 18
After he (Pilate) had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him. 39 But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 40 They cried out again, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
