The name Barabbas means “son of the father” (bar-abba). Before Pilate and the crowd, there were two sons of the father, one innocent, one guilty. They chose one to free, one to condemn.
Which son of the father was Adam, and the rest of us, suppose to be like?
Two sons of the father, that makes them brothers, family. The Father did not condemn either son. We did. And the elder Son came to save the younger son.

Is this the logical conclusion or the starting point for moral relativism? Answer: yes.
◊ Saint Gwinear, pray for us
If the state can command you to do an act your church or your philosophy teaches is deeply immoral act on the grounds that the common good demands, by the same logic, on what grounds can you object should the state command you to speak or print or think as the common good demands?
— John C. Wright, (ref)
Furthermore, who gets to decide what the”common good” is? Everybody, or just those in power?
