Context of Mark 15:14

12Pilate asked the crowd again, ‘So what should I do to Jesus? He is the man that you call “the king of the Jews”.’ 13The people shouted back to Pilate: ‘Kill him on a cross!’ ‘Why should I kill him?’ Pilate asked. ‘What bad things has he done?’ But the people shouted even louder, ‘Kill him on a cross!’ 15Pilate decided to do what the crowd wanted. So he let Barabbas go free. He said to his soldiers, ‘Hit Jesus many times with a whip. Then take him and fix him on a cross to die.’ 16So the soldiers took Jesus to the yard at the ruler's house. They told all the soldiers in their group to come there.
