What about Jesus` death impressed the Centurian so much that He realized Jesus was the Son of God?

The symbolic events that occured during Jesus`s death such the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split. The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many. Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

Why did the multitude want Barabbas released rather than Jesus?

The multitude wanted Barabbas released rather than Jesus you see, from the very beginning Pilate could find no fault in Jesus. In this question Pilate was asking them to ask for the release of Jesus. Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent of any wrong doing. He could see right through these accusations of the high priests. He knew that their jealousy of His powerful ministry had caused them to try to get Jesus killed. He knew that Jesus was not guilty of any crime punishable by death. Mark 15:10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. We see priests who were supposed to be upholding the things of God, who were so puffed up with pride that they were about to destroy the Saviour of the World. High priests were supposed to know the Scriptures, and yet they would not believe that Jesus was Messiah. Mark 15:11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. The Chief priests had a hold on the people. They used their great influence here, and caused the people to cry out for this murderer Barabbas over Jesus. Mark 15:12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do [unto him] whom ye call the King of the Jews? I believe Pilate was seeking every way he could to not kill Jesus. Pilate actually believed Jesus was who He said He was, I believe. Pilate told them, you will have to judge your King yourselves. Mark 15:13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. This cry will ring through all the ages. These two words crucify him changed all of history. It brought death and hell to those who do not believe, and life everlasting for those who do believe. Mark 15:14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him. Pilate, through these verses, tried to make the people understand that they were crucifying an innocent man. The people would not listen to Pilate, but listened to these evil priests. What a terrible thing to know that you asked for Jesus to be crucified. They were crying out, but we had our part in this, as well. Every person who ever lived ''except Jesus'' had sin in his life at one time. Our sins helped cause Jesus to be crucified. He was crucified for our sins, so that we might go free. Mark 15:15 And [so] Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged [him], to be crucified. In Matthew 27:24 we read about Pilate`s attitude, Matthew 27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but [that] rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed [his] hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye [to it]. This was all against the wishes of Pilate. The people spoke, and Pilate allowed this, because it was the will of the people.
