Barabas was an elite [[Striker]], and quite likely a [[Syndicate]] experiment in [[Daodan Chrysalis]] symbiosis, who worked under [[Muro]]. His first encounter with [[Konoko]] occurred when he guarded the entrance to [[Vago Biotech]] while Muro and his men raided equipment from it. He managed to hold back numerous [[TCTF]] officers and vehicles with the use of a prototype weapon stolen from the lab, the [[Wave Motion Cannon]]. Konoko was the only officer fast and strong enough to get past his defense and cause him to retreat. | Barabas was an elite [[Striker]], and quite likely a [[Syndicate]] experiment in [[Daodan Chrysalis]] symbiosis, who worked under [[Muro]].

Jesus was crucified on or around the holy Jewish day of Passover. Supposedly, it was traditional on that day for one of the prisoners about to be executed to be released by the Roman authorities, and it was up to the crowd to decide who should be released. Pontius Pilate let the crowd choose between Jesus (not guilty of anything in particular) and Barabbas (a rebel or criminal). The high priests who "framed" Jesus manipulated the crowd, which then unanimously demanded Barabbas' release and Jesus' crucifixion. | Jesus was crucified on or around the holy Jewish day of Passover.

End of story?... that's what I thought, too. That last quote from ''Acts'' is richer than it may seem. According to | End of story?... that's what I thought, too. That last quote from ''Acts'' is richer than it may seem. According to [[wikipedia: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 was a preacher and was called Christ, and the other one was possibly an insurrectionist (i.e. someone who physically opposed the Roman Empire) and was not called Christ. Jesus the rioter was released, and Jesus the preacher was crucified, by public request. | Jesus Christ was referring to God as "Abba" when preaching (in Aramaic).
