Does the Bible say that Barabbas was cursed to walk the earth and never die?

Question:

The Bible states that the curse of Barabbas was to walk the earth and never die. Where is he today?

Answer:

I'm always amazed at the things people accept as truth without ever checking their sources.

Barabbas is mentioned in Matthew 27:16-26; Mark 15:7-15; Luke 23:16-19; and John 18:39-40. He was a man in prison for murder who was released instead of Jesus. Beyond that, nothing is said about the man. There is no mention of a curse on him.
