I have been thinking through a couple of the questions that can come up in video. One concerned Barabbas. Some ancient manuscripts of Matthew actually give his name as Jesus Barabbas in Matthew 27:16. The name Barabbas means roughly “son of the father.” Although, the Gospel writers never confuse the two men. Barabbas is the imprisoned man associated with rebellion who is released. Jesus of Nazareth is repeatedly identified as the Christ or Messiah and as the King of the Jews. Mark records Pilate releasing Barabbas and then delivering Jesus to be scourged and crucified. The soldiers take that same Jesus to Golgotha, where the charge over Him reads, “THE KING OF THE JEWS.” So having the same first name does not make them interchangeable. Two men named John standing in the same courtroom would still be distinguishable by who they were, what they had done, and what happened to each of them. The second question concerns the hour of the crucifixion. Mark says, “It was the third hour, and they crucified Him,” which would ordinarily place it around midmorning. John, however, describes Jesus still before Pilate at “about the sixth hour.” These are difficult passages to reconcile although Christians were discussing it long before modern Christian-Muslim debates. Augustine devoted an entire section of his Harmony of the Gospels to the difference between Mark's third hour and John's sixth hour. One explanation is that Mark and John may have been using different methods of reckoning time. Another is that ancient writers often used approximate portions of the day rather than the kind of clock precision we expect now. John himself says “about” the sixth hour. Augustine suggested another possibility. He believed Mark's third hour could refer to the point when the demand for Jesus' crucifixion became decisive, while John's later reference concerned the Roman proceedings and actual carrying out of the sentence. I would not present any one of these explanations as though we can prove exactly which one resolves the question although the point is Christians have discussed this before Islam.
