The King James Version Bible

Mark 15:1-8

  1. And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

  2. And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.

  3. And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

  4. And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

  5. But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

  6. Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

  7. And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

  8. And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
