Mark 15:6-23
-
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.
-
17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
-
18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
-
19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
-
20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
-
21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
-
22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
-
23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
