Mark:15:1-15
rsv@Mark:15:1 @ And as soon as it was morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council held a consultation; and they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him to Pilate.
rsv@Mark:15:2 @ And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so."
rsv@Mark:15:3 @ And the chief priests accused him of many things.
rsv@Mark:15:4 @ And Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you."
rsv@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate wondered.
rsv@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked.
rsv@Mark:15:7 @ And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barab'bas.
rsv@Mark:15:8 @ And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he was wont to do for them.
rsv@Mark:15:9 @ And he answered them, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"
rsv@Mark:15:10 @ For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up.
rsv@Mark:15:11 @ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barab'bas instead.
rsv@Mark:15:12 @ And Pilate again said to them, "Then what shall I do with the man whom you call the King of the Jews?"
rsv@Mark:15:13 @ And they cried out again, "Crucify him."
rsv@Mark:15:14 @ And Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify him."
rsv@Mark:15:15 @ So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barab'bas; and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
