Mark - ch 15 v 1 - 20
- And straightway in the morning, the chief priests holding a consultation with the ancients and the scribes and the whole council, binding Jesus, led him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
- And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it.
- And the chief priests accused him in many things.
- And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? behold in how many things they accuse thee.
- But Jesus still answered nothing; so that Pilate wondered.
- Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded.
- And there was one called Barabbas, who was put in prison with some seditious men, who in the sedition had committed murder.
- And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he would do, as he had ever done unto them.
- And Pilate answered them, and said: Will you that I release to you the king of the Jews?
- For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of envy.
- But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
- And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews?
- But they again cried out: Crucify him.
- And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Crucify him.
- And so Pilate being willing to satisfy the people, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
- And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace, and they called together the whole band:
- And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon him.
- And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews.
- And they struck his head with a reed: and they did spit on him. And bowing their knees, they adored him.
- And after they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own garments on him, and they led him out to crucify him.
