Mark - ch 15 v 1 - 20
- 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.
- And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.
- And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
- And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
- But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
- Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
- And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
- And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
- But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
- For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
- But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
- 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?
- And they cried out again, Crucify him.
- Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
- And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
- And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
- And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
- And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
- And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
- 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.
