Mark 15:3-16
-
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.
-
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
-
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
-
11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
-
12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
-
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
-
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
-
15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
-
16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
