Pope Benedict XVI Quotes
Barabbas ("Son Of The Father") Is A Kind Of Messianic Figure. Two Interpretations Of Messianic Hope Are Juxtaposed Here In The Offer Of The Passover Amnesty. In Terms Of Roman Law, It Is A Case Of Two Criminals Convicted Of The Same Offense - Two Rebels Against The Pax Romana. It Is Clear That Pilate Prefers The Nonviolent "fanatic" That He Sees In Jesus. Yet The Crowd And The Temple Authorities Have Different Categories. If The Temple Aristocracy Felt Constrained To Declare: "We Have No King But Caesar" (Jn 19:15), This Only Appears To Be A Renunciation Of Israel's Messianic Hope: "We Do Not Want This King" Is What They Mean. They Would Like To See A Different Solution To The Problem. Again And Again, Mankind Will Be Faced With This Same Choice: To Say Yes To The God Who Works Only Through The Power Of Truth And Love, Or To Build On Something Tangible And Concrete - On Violence. Jesus
