Luke 23:19

who The word implies -a man of such a kind, that, &c."

and for murder "Ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murdererto be granted unto you," Acts 3:14. Nothing is known of Bar-Abbas, but it has been conjectured from his name that he or his father belonged to the order of the Sanhedrists, who therefore desired his release. If he had been a follower of Judas of Galilee, or engaged in the riot against Pilate about his use of the Corban, he would enlist the sympathies of the people also.
