Choice Choose Jesus Offered Released Releasing Robber Testament Barabbas
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the pivotal moment in history when the crowd, swayed by the passion and persuasion of the religious leaders, chose to release the notorious robber Barabbas instead of the condemned Jesus of Nazareth. The scene, as depicted in this print, unfolds in the bustling streets of Jerusalem during the Roman occupation. The crowd, a tumultuous sea of people, is shown pressing forward, their faces etched with determination and fervor. At the center, the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, a picture of authority and resolve, stands before the crowd, holding the fates of two men in his hands. To his left, the humble and meek Jesus, his eyes downcast, awaits the decision that will alter the course of history. To his right, Barabbas, a rough and menacing figure, is shown with a smirk, relishing in the anticipation of his imminent freedom. The Bible recounts that Pilate, weary of the clamor and unwilling to incite a riot, offered the crowd a choice: to release the man condemned for rebellion and murder, or the man condemned for blasphemy and heresy. The crowd, swayed by the religious leaders' cries for Barabbas' release, shouted their demand for the robber's freedom. And so, Jesus, the Prince of Peace, was sentenced to the cross, while Barabbas, the sinner, was set free. This powerful print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, transports us back to that fateful moment in history, inviting us to ponder the choices we make and the consequences they bear.
