Why did the multitude want Barabbas released rather than Jesus?

The men who wanted Jesus prosecuted, went through the crowds demanding they cry for the release of Barabbas so Jesus would be put to death and no longer a threat to them. Blessings.

Why did the multitude want Barabbas released rather than Jesus?

The manipulation of the multitude by the chief priests and elders ... Pilate had placed the choice between freeing Barabbas and Jesus in the hands of the multitude, perhaps believing the people would not listen to their own rulers and religious leaders. The governor probably believed that the people would let the Savior go free. Pilate, however, was gravely mistaken because he did not know God’s plan nor the deceitfulness and depravity of the human heart ... It was all pre - ordained to happen ...

envy had entered the hearts of the jewish leaders(sanhedrin)and the devil took advantage of their inability to see what was clearly written in the old testament. this was a political move on the part of the jewish leaders who did not want there position changed by Jesus. Barabbas was truly guilty of making revolutionary moves against Rome, so the multitudes mentioned who screamed for his release were probably friends and family members who were minipulated by the sanhedrin to yell for Barabbas to be released instead of Jesus. Anyway you put it Jesus was in charge of what was taking place.
