Two Jesus-es are now put before the crowd: the notorious Jesus Barabbas and the innocent Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah. We know very little about this Jesus Barabbas. His sole claim to fame as that he is the guilty one who is freed while the innocent one, the Lord Christ, is condemned to death.
In preparation for understanding the next verses, read Leviticus, chapter 16.
