The Modern Choice of Barabbas

Prompt

A modern 21st-century man dressed in casual modern clothing sits in a large, imposing wooden judgment chair in a surreal, brightly lit setting. Standing directly before him are two figures from antiquity: Jesus on the left (wearing the purple robe and crown of thorns, beaten, bloodied, but infinitely peaceful) and Barabbas on the right (a rugged, chained first-century criminal). The modern man looks deeply torn, holding his head in his hands as he makes his decision. Colourful, and bright. No text.
