(Barrabas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.) - Luke 23:19
Now, this makes even less sense! There had to be some bribes going on here! This was a known murderer! A guy who actually led an insurrection, a violent uprising, against the government. I don't know how it was back then, but today, normal people would not like murderers and definitely would not beg for their release. Government would be against people who led violent uprisings against them.
But Pilate chooses to let Barrabas go, and the crowd does too!
This whole thing is so ironic. Governments doing what makes no sense. People doing what makes no sense. The whole thing, from a human perspective, makes no sense.
Guess we shouldn't be surprised when that still happens today!
