Context of Mark 15:14
12So Pilate spoke to them again, “Then what do you want me to do with the one you call king of the Jews?” 13They shouted back, “Crucify him!” Pilate asked them, “Why? What has he done wrong?” But they shouted more insistently, “Crucify him!” 15Because he wanted to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them. Then, after he had Jesus flogged, he handed him over to be crucified. 16So the soldiers led him into the palace (that is, the governor’s residence) and called together the whole cohort.
