He gave the crowd the option to pardon one prisoner, because it was the Passover. The rest of the gospels state that the people who plotted against Jesus Christ paid members of the crowd to lobby for the release of Barabbas the thief.

I'm not sure whether Gibson included this or not. If he didn't, but happened to leave in the "let his blood be upon the heads of our children" line, he would be wide open for criticism.
