Mark

Mark 15:9–15

⁹“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked. ¹⁰For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

¹¹But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

¹²So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

¹³And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

¹⁴“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?”

But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

¹⁵And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.
