 According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barabbas Wikipedia] the guy was really called Jesus bar-Abbas (Aramaic Bar-abbâ, "son of the father").
-Jesus Christ was referring to God as "Abba" when preaching (in Aramaic). So basically the Jewish crowd had to choose between two guys who bore exactly the same name "Jesus, son of the Father"... however, one of them (the preacher) was also called Christ, and the other one was an insurrectionist (i.e. someone who physically opposed the Roman Empire). Jesus the rioter was released, and Jesus the preacher was crucified, by public request.
