Context of Mark 15:12
10(For he realized by now that the leading priests had arrested Jesus out of envy.) 11But at this point the leading priests stirred up the crowd to demand the release of Barabbas instead of Jesus. Pilate asked them, “Then what should I do with this man you call the king of the Jews?” 13They shouted back, “Crucify him!” 14“Why?” Pilate demanded. “What crime has he committed?” But the mob roared even louder, “Crucify him!”
