Mark 15:1-20

11EarlyG2117 in the morningG4404 the chiefG749 priestsG749 with the eldersG4245 and scribesG1122 and the wholeG3650 23CouncilG4892, immediatelyG2117 heldG4160 a consultationG4824; and bindingG1210 JesusG2424, they ledG667 Him awayG667 and deliveredG3860 Him to PilateG4091. 24PilateG4091 questionedG1905 Him, “Are You the KingG935 of the JewsG2453?” And He answeredG611 him, “It is as you sayG3004.” 3The chiefG749 priestsG749 began to accuseG2723 Him 5harshlyG4183. 4ThenG2532 PilateG4091 questionedG1905 Him againG3825, sayingG3004, “Do You not answerG611? SeeG2396 howG4214 manyG4214 chargesG2723 they bringG2723 againstG2723 You!” 5But JesusG2424 6madeG611 noG3762G3765 furtherG3765 answerG611; soG5620 PilateG4091 was amazedG2296.

67NowG1161 at the feastG1859 he used to releaseG630 for them any oneG1520 prisonerG1198 whomG3739 they requestedG3868. 7The man namedG3004 BarabbasG912 had beenG1510 imprisonedG1210 with the insurrectionistsG4714 whoG3748 had committedG4160 murderG5408 in the insurrectionG4714. 8The crowdG3793 wentG305 up and beganG757 askingG154 him to do as he had been accustomed to doG4160 for them. 9PilateG4091 answeredG611 them, sayingG3004, “Do you wantG2309 me to releaseG630 for you the KingG935 of the JewsG2453?” 10For he was awareG1097 that the chiefG749 priestsG749 had handedG3860 Him over becauseG1223 of envyG5355. 11But the chiefG749 priestsG749 stirredG383 up the crowdG3793 8to ask him to releaseG630 BarabbasG912 for them insteadG3123. 12AnsweringG611 againG3825, PilateG4091 saidG3004 to them, “ThenG3767 whatG5101 shall I doG4160 with Him whomG3739 you callG3004 the KingG935 of the JewsG2453?” 13They shoutedG2896 9backG3825, “CrucifyG4717 Him!” 14But PilateG4091 saidG3004 to them, “WhyG1063, whatG5101 evilG2556 has He doneG4160?” But they shoutedG2896 allG4057 the moreG4057, “CrucifyG4717 Him!” 15WishingG1014 to satisfyG4160G2425 the crowdG3793, PilateG4091 releasedG630 BarabbasG912 for them, and after having JesusG2424 10scourgedG5417, he handedG3860 Him over to be crucifiedG4717.

1611The soldiersG4757 tookG520 Him awayG520 into 12the 13palaceG833 (that is, the PraetoriumG4232), and they calledG4779 togetherG4779 the wholeG3650 Roman 1415cohortG4686. 17They dressedG1737 Him up in purpleG4209, and after twistingG4120 a crownG4735 of thornsG174, they putG4060 it on Him; 18and they beganG757 to acclaimG782 Him, “HailG5463, KingG935 of the JewsG2453!” 19They kept beatingG5180 His headG2776 with a 16reedG2563, and spittingG1716 on Him, and kneelingG1119G5087 and bowingG4352 beforeG4352 Him. 20AfterG3753 they had mockedG1702 Him, they tookG1562 the purpleG4209 robeG4209 offG1562 Him and putG1746 His own garmentsG2440 on Him. And they ledG1806 Him out to crucifyG4717 Him.
