MANILA, Philippines \u2014 On Good Friday, Caloocan Bishop Pablo Virgilio David asked Filipinos who will vote in the May polls: Will your vote be for Jesus or for Barabbas?<\/p>\n

In a Facebook post, Bishop recalled the trial of Jesus Christ, which was presided over by Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judaea.<\/p>\n

According to the New Testament, Barabbas, who was described in Matthew 27:16 as a \u201cnotorious prisoner,\u201d was voted by the mob to be released instead of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

\u201cPontius Pilate gave them a chance to vote. It was a choice between Jesus and Barabbas. They elected Barabbas, and had Jesus crucified,\u201d David wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWill your vote in May be for Jesus or for Barabbas?\u201d the bishop asked.<\/p>\n

The Caloocan prelate has caught the ire of President Rodrigo Duterte for his critical stand against the war on drugs, which has killed thousands, mostly of poor small-time peddlers.<\/p>\n

He was particularly vocal about the killing of Kian delos Santos, who was 17 years old when he died in an anti-drug operation in August 2017.<\/p>\n

David had also led a support group for families of victims of extrajudicial killings.<\/p>\n

The President has earlier accused David of \u201cstealing church offerings\u201d and called him a \u201cson of a whore.\u201d \/ee<\/p>\n
