Exegesis
Within this clause, the comparative adverb mallon {μᾶλλον | mâllon} precedes ton Barabban {τὸν Βαραββᾶν | tón Barabbân}, highlighting preference for Barabbas in contrast to Jesus, who is understood from the wider context.
In context — Mark 15:11
But the chief priests stirred up the crowd so that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
