Mark 15:9-15

9Pilate answered them, “Do you want me to free the king of the Jews for you?”

10Pilate knew that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him because they were jealous.

11The chief priests stirred up the crowd so that Pilate would free Barabbas for them instead.

12So Pilate again asked them, “Then what should I do with the king of the Jews?”

13“Crucify him!” they shouted back.

14Pilate said to them, “Why? What has he done wrong?” But they shouted even louder, “Crucify him!”

15Pilate wanted to satisfy the people, so he freed Barabbas for them. But he had Jesus whipped and handed over to be crucified.
