Mark - ch 15 v 1 - 20
- And straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
- And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest.
- And the chief priests accused him of many things.
- And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of.
- But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marvelled.
- Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.
- And there was one called Barabbas, `lying' bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
- And the multitude went up and began to ask him `to do' as he was wont to do unto them.
- And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
- For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
- But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
- And Pilate again answered and said unto them, What then shall I do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
- And they cried out again, Crucify him.
- And Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him.
- And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
- And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
- And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;
- and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
- And they smote his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
- And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him.
