Excellent interesting thoughts and perspectives thank you! Barabbas really means bar=son of
abba- (the) father.
So who truly was the son of the father in Heaven? The lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 1 John 4:9 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!” Luke 9:35
Contrast that with
Luke 23:18 But they all cried out together, “Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas”— 19 a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city and for murder.

"You are of your father the devil, and you desire to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he might speak falsehood, he speaks from the own; for he is a liar, and the father of it." John 8:44
