Set Free While He Was Sentenced – v3


Barabbas and Jesus
two sons of the father
standing before Caesar
Pilate only the proxy
representing Roman power
the crowd, the mob shouting
“give us Barabbas”,
a common criminal set free
a revolutionary, insurgent
while the king was sentenced
Death to the Messiah
God, Emmanuel
