nkjv - Mark:15:1-26

nkjv@Mark:15:1 @ Immediately, in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Jesus, led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.

nkjv@Mark:15:2 @ Then Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered and said to him, "It is as you say."

nkjv@Mark:15:3 @ And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing.

nkjv@Mark:15:4 @ Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, "Do You answer nothing? See how many things they testify against You!"

nkjv@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.

nkjv@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they requested.

nkjv@Mark:15:7 @ And there was one named Barabbas, who was chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion.

nkjv@Mark:15:8 @ Then the multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them.

nkjv@Mark:15:9 @ But Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

nkjv@Mark:15:10 @ For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.

nkjv@Mark:15:11 @ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them.

nkjv@Mark:15:12 @ Pilate answered and said to them again, "What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

nkjv@Mark:15:13 @ So they cried out again, "Crucify Him!"

nkjv@Mark:15:14 @ Then Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they cried out all the more, "Crucify Him!"

nkjv@Mark:15:15 @ So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be crucified.

nkjv@Mark:15:16 @ Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison.

nkjv@Mark:15:17 @ And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head,

nkjv@Mark:15:18 @ and began to salute Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

nkjv@Mark:15:19 @ Then they struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him.

nkjv@Mark:15:20 @ And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

nkjv@Mark:15:21 @ Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross.

nkjv@Mark:15:22 @ And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.

nkjv@Mark:15:23 @ Then they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it.

nkjv@Mark:15:24 @ And when they crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.

nkjv@Mark:15:25 @ Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.

nkjv@Mark:15:26 @ And the inscription of His accusation was written above: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
