Mark - ch 15 v 1 - 20
- And forthwith 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 to 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 testify against thee.
- But Jesus yet answered nothing: so that Pilate marveled.
- Now at that feast he released to them one prisoner, whom they desired.
- And there was one named Barabbas, who 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 to them.
- But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release to 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 to them.
- And Pilate answered, and said again to them, What will ye then that I shall do to him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
- And they cried out again, Crucify him.
- Then Pilate said to 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 to them, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.
- And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Pretorium; 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 struck him on the head with a reed, and spit upon him, and bowing their knees, worshiped 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.
