Which crimes did Barabbas commit and was about to be crucified?

Answer:

As the translations of the descriptions of Barabbas’ crimes can be interpreted in a number of ways, it is difficult to say exactly what crimes he committed. As crucifixion was reserved for major crimes against the state, it is likely that he was involved in some form of riot or rebellion. It is also mentioned in some sources that he was a murderer, which means he may have been involved in the death of a Roman soldier or official, but it is difficult to say definitively.
