DATA BUG? Should we see Jesus Barabbas somewhere?

- The NRSV in Mt.27:17 has the name "Jesus Barabbas"
- The footnote tells me that the manuscripts have both "Jesus Barabbas" and "Barabbas" alone.
- However, the fact book under both Lemmas and Referred to As do not show the "Jesus Barabbas" option although the displayed text (NRSV) does. This is the oddity caused by tagged a Greek edition then applying it to the NRSV which uses a slightly different Greek edition, if I understand correctly.
- However, even the header lacks the alternative name "Jesus Barabbas" leaving a newbie puzzled as to the highlighting/Bible text out of sync with "all" Factbook information.
I would expect to see Jesus Barabbas in the "Lemma" and "Referred to As" sections, if I look at it from a user perspective. At a minimum, I would expect the alternative Jesus Barabbas in header, if I look at it from an IT perspective.

Me too. This appears to be a tagging error; the instance of Ἰησοῦν in SBLGNT is mistakenly tagged as Jesus. Once that's fixed, I think it should show up under Lemmas.

The "Referred to as" section comes from a Faithlife data set, not your preferred RI translation. (Not saying that's what you should expect as a user, but just how the data is generated.)

Thanks, Bradley. I always find it useful to know the source of the data. It makes it easier to understand what I see.
